Lyric Prompt Post.
What would you say if I called on you now?
You are judged by what you do, while passing through.
In the silence of my lonely room, I think of you.
How can I feel good when nothing's right?
You don't give questions do you friend, just questions that will never end.
There's nothing left here that I'll miss
Why does nothing here make sense?
The sweetness and the sorrow
We did what we had to do
Kiss today goodbye and point me toward tomorrow
Won't forget, can't regret.
Do whatever pays the wages.
Once you've one you have to go on winning.
You think I've sold out, dead right I've sold out
I've just been waiting for the right offer.
In their dreams were hidden dragons
It seemed an elegant solution
One day this must end, it isn't real
Before tomorrow's execution
How I feel about the future
How I deal with it all
Living for the moment's reward
Destiny lies in these two hands
An enchanted moment and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you.
The world has gone mad today
(You had me) several years ago, when I was still quite naive.
You gave away the things you loved (and one of them was me)
The worst ain't so bad.
When will I hold you again?
Flashbacks, warm nights, almost left behind
The second hand unwinds.
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay.
(S)he'll bring out the best and the worst you can be.
A part of you will live in me.
Days keep coming without fail.
We're gonna keep on coming back for more.
Out in this brave new world we seek, through valleys and the peaks.
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we both regret (the things we said today)
We've come too far to leave it all behind.
Thinking about all our younger years
We were young and wild and free
Once in your life you find someone who will turn your world around.
Now our dreams are coming true.
Through the good times and the bad.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life.
Must I always be alone?
His rage shaking the temple
His word to the wise
The old rules steeped in tradition
A blessed sign in troubled times
Death to the radical
There's a price for getting smarter
So while the bridges burn (Let the shadows fall behind me)
Just a step at a time
We will stand together to the end
When you walk in the dark, then you stumble and fall.
I've never seen a human being so tightly wound
Like a war weary soldier
Take my hand and pull me up 'cause I'm falling too fast.
I don't have the strength to handle it alone anymore.
For all I've seen and heard (I want to come home)
Another question in me (one for the powers that be)
I can't figure out how my heart involved into a rock beating inside of me.
Where is that feeling that I don't feel?
Who dimmed the glowing light that once burned so bright in me?
(that keeps me) running from all that I used to be.
Is there a way to return?
I've been gone too long (will I ever find my way home?)
Once upon a time I was faithless, running blind
(I used to) walk in the shadow of doubt
The echo of a choice will bring you to your knees.
Who is the navigator of your destiny?
There is nothing here that I can understand.
The hardest thing I've ever had to face.
A lion's heart in a little girl (So unafraid of the fire)
I've seen your eyes - no compromise.
Between what is and what should be.
Tell me when the time we had slipped away
Tomorrow turned to yesterday'
How to say good-bye
If only I could read your mind
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Over the years I've learned one important thing
It's all I have to give
The winding path that still descends
Above a sky washed black
Read between the lines of what you see
Never look back at yesterday
Look into the soul of reality
So many memories and so many miles
We've had some laughter and our share of tears
I'll be your friend for a lifetime.
The longing in my heart has stirred a faded memory
I'm still seeking, though I've learned to hide so well
The only purpose in my life was finding you
Were you chasing me or was I chasing you
We all grow up and put away our childhood games
Deep inside I wonder if we really change
I still remember how it felt
Everybody's free.
Brothers lie in shallow graves
No bravery in your eyes anymore, only sadness.
The smell of death is in the air
Another family's turn to die
A child afraid to even cry out
No one asks the question why
Old men kneel and accept their fate
A generation drenched in hate
I'll never know what makes this man
Twice as much ain't twice as good
It's wanting more that's going to send me to my knees
Just keep me where the light is
The slightest hesitation (can bring you down in flames)
A single spark of passion (can change a man forever)
A moment in a lifetime (is all it takes to break him)
A fraction of a heartbeat made us who we are
Doors inside my head, bolted from within
I can tell you why, people go insane
Memory of the one, who lived inside my skin
All your fairy tales are lies
I think chivalry's dead
I'm sick of all this waiting
What if I'm not so crazy?
Maybe you're the one that's wrong
We've got no future living in the past
I don't know how to hold you without shaking
I gave you everything
This is the last honest love I'll ever give
You're still just a dream
I'm the mother-fucking princess
I lived a whole life in one night
I'm not a piece of meat
I'm lost but I'm hopeful
Everything's going to be fine
I'm wrong and I'm sorry
I'm here but I'm really gone
I care but I'm restless
(but) I'm only human
The promise of another tomorrow
I'd give up forever to touch you
I don't want to miss you tonight
You can't fight the tears that aren't falling
The moment of truth in your lies
The years start coming and they don't stop coming
My world's on fire
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored.
We could all use a little change
I don't know if I need you
I'll never regret these years
It's times like these I miss you most
What I hear when you don't say a thing
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
Restless hearts sleep alone (tonight)
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
The joy of rediscovering you
A thousand lies have made me colder (And I don't think I can look at this the same)
You're still with me in my dreams
Tonight it's only you and me
This life is overrated (I hope it gets better as we go)
I've been let down so many times
You believe in me like nobody ever has
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
I want to fucking tear you apart
Do you believe in love at first sight?
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I want somebody to love
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like oyu know what it means
You keep pushing me aside
I need time to move on
Maybe I'm too good for you
I know that I'll get through this
I don't think you're strong enough
What am I supposed to do, sit around and wait for you?
I don't need you anymore
I'm the one who'll stay
Life is a dream we're dreaming
I can read your mind and I know you're story
I see what you're going through
Don't surrender, because you can win
When life is empty with no tomorrow
Love that I could not forsake
I finished crying in the instant that you left
I banished every memory you and I had ever made
Moments of gold
Things I'd never do again
Nights of endless pleasure
All the truth that you made me see
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
I've seen the tears and the heartache, (and I've felt the pain)
I've seen the hatred (and so many lives lost in vain)
All of the promises broken
You gave me a world to believe in
Dreams we hold onto can just fade away
I've been afraid for years
Whispered words and empty threats
Rip away the seams of what I thought this would be
You break me just to say you're sorry
You don't know about my past
I don't have the future figured out
Maybe it's not meant to last.
I just want to start again
I've been beat down and I've been broken
I learned from the past (not everything lasts)
Everything changed when you walked away
I learned to forget and just keep moving on
Once touched by pain you're not the same
There's no right or wrong
Time can heal
You hear what you want to hear
What's meant to be will always find a way
A reason for me to get down on my knees
That was my wounded pride
It was just a matter of time
The one who really knows you
The song remembers when
Driving out the memory of the way things might have been
My heart must have been broken but I can't recall just why
Just a lot of water underneath a bridge I've burned
Somethings we bury are just bound to rise again
Welcome to Wonderland
Can I choose my fate?
Can I learn to burn again?
Dream me away
Life will always get twisted
You won't last a day
Take him down easy
Which do you choose, the hard or soft option?
Just wait till I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Dead-end world
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
Further and further from my home
Break all the rules that would bend
Began to find myself searching
I know your plans don't include me
Longing for shelter from all that we see
We've got tonight
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
I know I'll keep searching, after today
There's a crossroad where all the victims meet
When everything's right
When everything's wrong
Pointless one act plays
You'll find it's not enough
I'm coming after you
Another room without a view
Standing on the corner at midnight
I used to watch them through the glass
He knew (right then) that he was too far from home
No one's gotten you yet
Just turn your back and walk
Never play the game too long
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't take
I turned and walked away (I have nothing left to say)
I'm always hoping you'll end this reign
The world turning circles inside my brain
There's a king on a thorn with his eyes torn out.
The accusations fly
Do I have to tell the story?
Every bond you break
Since you've been gone I've been lost without a trace
I was just in the middle of a dream
Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you understand?
It was time to just let go
Somehow it's just not that easy
You're a waste of time for me
I'm not going back to you anymore
Finally my weakened heart is healing
You're not gonna find what you were looking for
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
There's nothing else you can do
Voices that want to be heard
The scent of magic and the beauty that's been
I don't think that you think of me
I know that I should get on with my life
I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Are you comfortable with the pain?
You got yourself into this own mess
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
You lied, straight-faced, while I cried
It's good to see you my friend
I see that you're so happy, and it just sets me free
I know that you're not in love with me
I was praying that fate would bring you back to me
From the moment we touched, until time had run out
Pretend it doesn't bother you
The same old cliche
I used her, she used me.
When you don't seem to have much to lose
Young, restless and bored
Reminesce about the days of old
Say I'm old fashioned
This time might be the last
That's your fear
I've got a strong will to survive
You bring out the best in me
There's so many things I want to say
Things I might regret
I am a man who will fight for your honor
It breaks my heart to see you crying
You keep me standing tall
Just like a knight in shining armor
From tonight until the end of time
Here we are again, I guess it must be fate
Back to set things straight
Every memory repeats
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Always just beyond my touch
Sometimes I wondered if I'd ever make it through
This world's closing in on me.
Want to give up, want to give in, want to quit the fight
I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I have the bravest heart you have ever seen
You see everything of which I am ashamed
I'm terrified and mistrusting
You see all my light and you love my dark
You're still here
We make it harder than it is
Take a perfect night and fill it up with words we don't mean
Questioning the strongest of hearts
The one thing that has gotten us this far
Give us strength to try once more
You don't know I am there
I'm awashed away by emotions
It's living through the fire
I would have liked to have known you
I thought it was over
We said our goodbyes
Memories of your love
Let me let go
Why are you still in my heart?
The Mountains of Faith
I can finally find what I've been looking for
Something somebody stole
I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
It can only be seen by the eyes of the blind
Baptized by the fire
Those were the best days of my life
Nothing can last forever
Everything that's come and gone
The fighting never ends
How can we make love if we can't make amends
It's a no win situation
We're just not talking, we've got so much to say
I'll never break your heart
As time turns the page
There is no reason for my fear
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
I see forever when I look in your eyes
I believe that wishes can come true
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
Live our lives together day by day
We're miles apart inside
Instead of making love we made our separate ways
I could have saved a love that night (if I'd known what to say)
It's hard living life on this memory-go-around.
I was never much good and good-bye
Like a school-boy so lost
We sailed together, we drifted apart
I need you to stay
It's not words I want from you
All I ever needed to know
What would you say, if I took those words away
Needed some time
What I've become, what I've done
What everyone takes out of me
How did you end up in that crowd?
Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself for what you are?
When you're all alone
Try and put aside your history and pride
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go?
You never showed
I can't forget so many things
Just tell me why
Despite the lies that you're making
You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here, broken and naked
A road that never ends
Till the moment is right
Release your inhibitions
Live your life with arms wide open
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
I can't live that way
Reaching for something in the distance
Guess who gets the rest of me?
Forgive me my weakness
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky
I'll pick up the slack
I embrace what others fear
The likes of me are welcome here
I share my world with no one else
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and I've heard all the lies
In my world there's no compromise
Perfectly balanced and perfectly planned
I want to live my life the way you said I would
Fighting for what's right
There is so much I never never seen
Take out all your wasted honor
Walking like a one many army
Fighting the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Say what you need to say
Have no fear of giving in
Do it with a heart wide open
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
You've got to measure up
That simply wasn't good enough
I'll make you what I never was
I'm doing this for your own damn good
How long before you screw it up?
I just want someone to remember me
You sucked me in and played my midn
You left me lying in a pool of doubt
It's only gonna make me strong
Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and you sold me out
