I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
They fill your mind with boredom
And they lead you off to war

The way we treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
And if you’re gonna fight
Then you’re just dying to get killed

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

A box upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they’re very good indeed

I wanna destroy you

And when I have destroyed you
I'll come pickin at your bones
And you won't have a single item
Left to call your own

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you

Yeah, it's Saturday night
Will I see you around?
I'm comin' to life
Didn't take a long, long time
Still where she was comin' from
Well, she took the long way around
And I've only come this far

Now, nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
Can you tell me things that you're dreaming of?

Stop fallin' in love
With everything that lets you down
There's someone above
And I know she wears glasses
Sometimes she says it helps her mood
I see her in the long ride home
I guess I never spoke too soon

Now, nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
Can you tell me things that you're dreaming of?

You don't wanna get left behind
You wanna find some piece of mind
You say it takes a long time there
She was there, she was in the crowd

You went rollin' along
When everybody wants to ride
Now Joe's never home
Nothing at the tableside
Where everything is chained to you know that
You're wakin' up to die inside
Now there's nowhere left to go

Now nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
And you tell me things that you love

Now nothing can change you
When you feel foreign to love
Your world has a strange view
And you tell me things that you're dreaming of?

Oh, here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out
Did they throw you away?

Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me I'm not there
Almost human, but I'll never be the same

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down
I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way

And anything you want
There's nothing I could say
Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down
I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to gray

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
On my own
On my own

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
You're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees.

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb.

Coming down, the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
Was it things they never showed you?
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah.

Coming down, the world turned over
And Angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone's prayer

And there's no time left for losing
When you stand, they fall, yeah.

Coming down, the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Coming down, the years turned over
And Angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become what you became to me

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
Even though we fall in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

I found a love I had lost
It had been gone for too long
Even though we fall in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
Even though we fall in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

Don't change...
Don't change...

You changed my face
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
'cause that's the way it is

You said hello
Where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I been off to war
And I may never be the same again

I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
'cause you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
'cause in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed, you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you
'cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
'cause in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
'cause in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

She's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

Happy, smilin', cryin,
Outburst to my past.

I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last.
And now I find myself a-tuggin' at your dress.
The fun of holdin' you down, or seein' you frown, is never gonna pass.

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go,
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know.
All our postcards full of things I won't forget,
And now it's comin' down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.

Couldn't help myself,
I felt like everything was gonna pass.
It was an awkward time,
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last.

And I didn't know exactly what to say,
'Bout the things you saw me do my evil way.
And I know you're lyin', cryin' in your bed,
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head.

Another second time around I've been runnin' from ya,
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya,
Another second time around.
Another second time around
Another second time around

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anything
To feel it coming

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man

It's something I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(Yeah slide)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(Oh, oh slide)
Yeah, slide between the sheets of all them beds you never knew
(Yeah slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away

Yeah I'm fadin' And I call out No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word

Weighed down, Say it now

You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout
Now I'm wasted They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say

Weighed down, Say it now

You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Cuz you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone there

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Yeah I'm fadin' And I call out No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word

Weighed down, Say it now

You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout
Now I'm wasted They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say

Weighed down, Say it now

You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Cuz you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?

And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh you're so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts
And I'm aware
I'm in love but you don't care

Turn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at all
And I'll be waiting

Love and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest
So I'll survive
God it's good to be alive

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

Still in love with all your sins
Where you stop and I begin, and I'll
I'll be waiting
Living like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
It's hard to deal
I still love the way you feel

Now this angry little girl
Drowning in this petty world
And I'm who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful
You're all or not
I don't need what you ain't got

I'm torn in pieces
I'm blind and waiting for
My heart is reeling
I'm blind and waiting for you

I'm blind and waiting for you
I'm blind and waiting for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
God it's good to be alive and I'm still here waiting for you
No I can't believe it's coming true
I'm blind and waiting for you

And through the fence I see a ghost
Of a place that used to breathe
You know it choked away the sun
But we still had food to eat

And now everyone is gone
To a place that won't be home
Can they keep their family strong?
Will they make it on their own?

And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here
When you're gone

Then one day we realized
That they couldn't hear our voice
And it's so hard to understand
When it's caught up in the noise

But the ones who fight and die
Are the truth inside the lie
Now it's all built on our backs
And we struggle to survive

And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here
When you're gone

And you asked me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I need some place simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child who saved this world
And there's ten million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

You wait
Wanting this world to let you in
And you stand there
A frozen light
In dark and empty streets
And you smile
Hiding behind a God-given face
And I know you're so much more
Everything they ignore
Is all that I need to see

And you're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

I wish
Wishing for you to find your way
And I'll hold on for all you need
That's all we need to say
I'll take my chances while
You take your time with
This game you play
But I can't control your soul
You need to let me know
You leaving or you gonna stay

And you're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The dreams we have to do without
The only way to feel again
Is let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The dreams we have to live without
The only way to see again
Is let love in

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

Why are you so green
How can you say that to me?
When did you fall from grace?
You've got a dirty face
And it's killin' me

Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free

Can you follow me?
Will you justify me please?
Said you're wrong
Said you're gone
I'll guess I'll wait another night
For what you're gonna say
Back to me

Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
And I try
But I never try too long
When you're gone
Why don't you listen?
Why don't you listen to me?
I'm drownin' but I never felt so free
Why don't you listen, hear what you're missin'

You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry
All you remember now
Is what you feel

The truth remains
In midnight conversations
I asked for this moment
But you turned away

Sad like a lonely child
Broken the day you're born
I held the light to you
But I was so vain

And you remain
A promise unfulfilled
I ask you for more
But you push me away

And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Everything means more now than
Words could explain

And if we feel the silence
Leaving this all behind us
Looking for something more to say
I don't know where I'm going

Only know where I been
But you move through my soul like a hurricane wind

We've been so lost for so long
I don't know how to get back again
And we're drowning in the water
That flows under this
When you're fighting the current
You forget how to live
And I wanted to reach you but I don't know where to begin
And you remain
A promise unfulfilled until today

And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Everything means more now than
Words could explain
And if we feel the silence
Leaving this all behind us
When it's gone what will you say

How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
How do we hold on
You lie awake at night
With blue eyes that never cry

Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker-jacks
I don't care if I never get back
Well it's a root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame

Now it's
One, Two, Three strikes your out
At the old ballgame

Now it's root, root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
Now it's 1, 2, 3 strikes - you're out at the old ball game
