Альбом Four Year Strong

I'm a mess such a wreck don't forget about it
I drag myself through the dirt just to feel a little closer to the ground
Because I've always had my head up in the clouds
Take a second and look down
Ive got my name on a string
…. Never likes despite the fact that they are working
I live my life on the line to find a way to be unforgettable

Don't fix it if it hasn't broken yet!
Don't regret it if it hasn't happened yet
So let's GO a tiny spark to set it off
And EXPLODE ignite the dark eliminate the unknown
But since your heads in the clouds the best advice I found is don't look down

Face the facts you're a betting man and the deck is stacked
Against you all the time
Since your life is just a failure by design
Do you feel like your better without it?
Cause it looks like your nothing without it

Don't fix it if it hasn't broken yet!
Don't regret it if it hasn't happened yet
So let's GO a tiny spark to set it off
And EXPLODE ignite the dark eliminate the unknown
But since your heads in the clouds the best advice I found is don't look down

(BREAKDOWN)
DON'T LOOK DOWN!
(BREAKDOWN)

A tiny spark TO SET IT OFF
Ignite the dark AND LIVE IT UP!

Don't fix it if it hasn't broken yet!
Don't regret it if it hasn't happened yet
So let's GO a tiny spark to set it off
And EXPLODE ignite the dark eliminate the unknown
But since your heads in the clouds the best advice I found is don't look down

Well it's the best advice ive found
DON'T LOOK DOWN

The face of another day
Searching of the voice of a better way
They say that it's a bad time of year
To be up in arms
So we're pushing on cause we know in our hearts

It's the only way
To stay afloat with the sharks at bay
Avoid being a casualty of the circumstances
And second chances are shredded day by day
Will your legs fail you
When you stand too straight and tall
Cause the world's gone mad
The taller you are, the harder you fall

Sail up into the night sky
Until our worlds collide
Tonight we feel alive
Stand up where I can see you
No reason left to hide
Tonight we feel alive

You asked, what would I stand for
Truth is I stand for this
It's passion perfected
Fashion neglected
A natural infection of all we have seen

It's the only way
Since we discovered we had a say
Found that the world's not as cold and grey
As our circumstances
And second chances living out the days
Will your legs fail you
When you stand too straight and tall
Cause the world's gone mad
The taller you are, the harder you fall
I won't stand for this

Sail up into the night sky
Until our worlds collide
Tonight we feel alive
Stand up where I can see you
No reason left to hide
Tonight we feel alive
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Stand up where I can see you
No reason left to hide
It's the only way
It's the only way
Tonight we feel alive
It's the only way
It's the only way
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Will your legs fail you
When you stand too straight and tall
Cause the world's gone mad
The taller you are, the harder you fall

Sail up into the night sky
Until our worlds collide
Tonight we feel alive
Stand up where I can see you
No reason left to hide
Tonight we feel alive
Tonight we feel alive
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wasting time
All along you've just been wasting mine
Ignoring all the signs that point our way out of our prime
Draw the line
All this time you were just drawing mine
Only problem is I see no end in sight of any kind

Well I can see you're waiting
But I don't care To fill this whole place up with gasoline
And blow the top of this whole damn thing
Yeah cause I don't care

The perfect crime
I just took what was yours and called it mine
Spent every night with fire in our eyes
Can you see it shine?
Lost in time I'd give this all up for a chance to find
My way back to that summer in 2003 When I felt alive

Well I can see you're waiting
But I don't care To fill this whole place up with gasoline
And blow the top of this whole damn thing
Yeah cause I don't care

It was the first time I didn't fall asleep until the sun came up
Cause we never ever had enough
It was the first time that we could rush the streets
Feeling no defeat
Cause we were ready to ignite the sky
It was the last time
That I had the time of my life

Wasting time
All along you've just been wasting mine
Ignoring all the signs that point our way out of our prime

Wasting time
All along you've just been wasting mine
Ignoring all the signs that point our way out of our prime

Wasting time
All along you've just been wasting mine
Ignoring all the signs that point our way out of our prime

CAN YOU PROVE TO ME
THAT YOU'RE NOT DEAD AND GONE
WE CRAWLED ON HANDS AND KNEES
BUT NOW I LIVE MY LIFE STANDING STRONG
CAN YOU PROVE TO ME
THAT YOU'RE NOT DEAD AND GONE
WE CRAWLED ON HANDS AND KNEES
BUT NOW I LIVE MY LIFE STANDING STRONG

Alone with the living dead
You had to know, I didn't go
And walk off the edge with you and your friends
And if you try to play it off again
Then it's over and out
You better keep your mouth shut
No, just let it go
I built myself up undercover
But not for long

What does it take to save you
Everything you've got to bring me back down
There's nothing left to save
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
For me to give you
Everything you've got just brings you back down
There's nothing left to save
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT

Push back the clock
Back to when it was new to us
And knew we were true from the start
To win your heart
To keep our connection in the void
Of dissection of our words
We heard a common collection
For those who knew what it was to survive
We will strive to fill the void
Build up all the walls that have been destroyed
We've gotten a bad name
For taking all the blame
It's just another game for you

What does it take to save you
Everything you've got to bring me back down
There's nothing left to save
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
For me to give you
Everything you've got just brings you back down
There's nothing left to save
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT

Try to find a way
We're gonna find a way to erase all our mistakes
We built this, we built this
We built this city on heart and soul
Strive to fill the void
Build up all the walls that have been destroyed
We've gotten a bad name
For taking all the blame
It's just another game for you

What does it take to save you
Everything you've got to bring me back down
There's nothing left to save
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
For me to give you
Everything you've got just brings you back down
There's nothing left to save
There's nothing left to save

CAN YOU PROVE TO ME
THAT YOU'RE NOT DEAD AND GONE
WE CRAWLED ON HANDS AND KNEES
BUT NOW I LIVE MY LIFE STANDING STRONG
CAN YOU PROVE TO ME
THAT YOU'RE NOT DEAD AND GONE
WE CRAWLED ON HANDS AND KNEES
BUT NOW I LIVE MY LIFE STANDING STRONG
WE BUILT THIS, WE BUILT THIS
WE BUILT THIS CITY ON HEART AND SOUL
CREATE IT
DESTROY IT
WE BUILT IT WITH HEART AND SOUL

I can't believe what this is doing to me
I've seen so many cities
Fall down to their knees
I'm begging you, please
Don't bury me underneath their crumbled walls
My barren thoughts weigh heavier
Than the weight of our demands

I feel the pressure building up inside my head
I feel the distance drowning me in my own sweat
Cause I need the cold now
It's my turn to roll out all the stops
And show that I know where I have to go

I've got to find my way back
Retrace my steps
So I can prove to you that I'm alive
Crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
To find my way back home

I feel the heat and what it's doing to me
I've been pulling at my own skin
To hide my face
It's hard to relate
Forget the way you feel when you are safe at home
You leave this world alone, stone by stone
If only I had known about the

Pressure building up inside my head
I feel the distance drowning me in my own sweat
Cause I need the cold now
It's my turn to roll out all the stops
And show that I know where I have to go

I've got to find my way back
Retrace my steps
So I can prove to you that I'm alive
Crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
Find my way back home

One mile left
It lasts a lifetime
Like a promise kept
Under the weight of the world
Falling down on your shoulders
It's colder

I've got to find my way back
Retrace my steps
So I can prove to you that I'm alive
Crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
Find my way back home
Find my way back home
Cause I've been crawling my way back to the place
I know that's meant for me to find my way back
Find my way back home

Today's the day that we start this war
Make up your mind and decide what you are fighting for
You still have so much to learn about
The decisions you make, be it so hard to break
If you can't make room for raising the stakes
You'll find yourself exposed to the fallout
And in a drawn-out series of undeniable mistakes
(The perfect punch to a perfect line)

I'm not gonna make it,
Tonight's not good for me, it's true
But not for the reasons you might think,
'Cause I've got better things to do

Well have you ever loved so much that you'd kill for it?
(I'd kill for this)
From the bottom of the barrel to the tip of my tongue
(Feeling old but we're still so young)
Because we are the ones that you're searching for
(We're causing all the trouble, only looking for more)
Does someone carry on with a heart of gold?
Feeling young but we're getting older every time I turn around
(The perfect place at the perfect time)

I'm not gonna make it,
Tonight's not good for me, it's true
But not for the reasons you might think,
'Cause I've got better things to do
I'm not gonna make it,
Tonight's not good for me, it's true
But not for the reasons you might think,
'Cause I've got better things to do

Sometimes it's hard to say the right thing
The right way on the hardest day of your life
Breathe in breathe out, it'll be okay
Breathe in, they say the pain will fade away

And every year November gets closer
And every year it gets a little bit colder
Breathe in breathe out, it'll be okay
Breathe in they say the pain will fade away

One step at a time
One foot in front of the other
I'm gonna get through this one way or another
Cause I know it's warmer where you are
Cause no matter how far the view
I still always look up to you

The sun takes a second to sink in
That your life will never be the same again
Breathe in breathe out, it'll be okay
Breathe in they say the pain will fade away

And every year November gets closer
And every year it gets a little bit colder
Breathe in breathe out it'll be okay
Stay strong hold on make it through the day

One step at a time
One foot in front of the other
I'm gonna get through this one way or another
Cause I know it's warmer where you are
Cause no matter how far the view
I still always look up to you

I'll never forget the day my heart fell from my chest
It was the moment that I said goodbye
And I laid your body to rest
I'll never take this life for granted
I'm living it for two
Cause you're always the one who sang the songs
And I'm singing this one for you

One step at a time
One foot in front of the other
I'm gonna get through this one way or another
Cause I know it's warmer where you are
Cause no matter how far the view
I still always look up to you
I'll always look up to you

It's because I know she's a disaster
A walking mess, a master of misery
She's everything that possibly could go wrong
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
And now I know that she's the one for me

I'm finding that I can no longer deny it
The risk of perjury
But my only hope
I can find my way back without being a casualty
With every blink of an eye she will constantly try
To destroy everything with a will to survive
But it's alright if you ask me
I'll go all night cause in this case anything goes
They want, you need to see

It's because I know she's a disaster
A walking mess, a master of misery
She's everything that possibly could go wrong
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
That's how I know that she will always be
My third degree for alarm, emergency
The bane of our society
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
That's how I know that she's the one for me

So take your best shot
I hope your hand is steady
Because we all know that your aim's not
Too dead on or accurate
You couldn't hit a fly
If you were standing in a pile of shit
Shake yourself off
Let me give you a word of advice
And just save yourself while you still can
Shake yourself off
And don't even think twice about it
Save yourself while you still can
I don't think that you understand

It's because I know she's a disaster
A walking mess, a master of misery
She's everything that possibly could go wrong
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
That's how I know that she will always be
My third degree for alarm, emergency
The bane of our society
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
That's how I know that she's the one for me

Shake yourself off
And don't even think twice about it
Save yourself while you still can
I'm finding that I can no longer deny it
The risk of perjury
But my only hope
I can find my way back without being a casualty

It's because I know she's a disaster
A walking mess, a master of misery
She's everything that possibly could go wrong
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
That's how I know that she will always be
My third degree for alarm, emergency
The bane of our society
She'll always be a lifelong tragedy
That's how I know that she's the one for me

You're off by a long sight
You've got to find your reason right now
To put that eye up to the keyhole
To find the answers to the questions
What's it like or what's in fashion
This passion keeps us moving along
Could I be down to try to get up off the ground
To survive without you
Cause you'll still be living
While I'm busy singing to live
Give up, give in
Or get up on the roof of the big time
And try to pretend you knew better
I don't care about you
Cause you'll still be living
While I'm busy singing

Take one step
Have you got it in you
You'll have to take it if you want to
You'll have to face the consequences
That can bring you down
Don't try and play the game
Cause you could get knocked back underground
Take one step
Have you got it in you
You'll have to fake it like you always do
You'll have to face the consequences
That can bring you down
Don't try and play the game
Cause you could get knocked back underground

You're off by a long shot
You've got to find your reason right now
To keep your hands inside the game
To find your ride for the long haul
And let you shoulder all the blame
For this monster you can't tame
I try to pretend I knew better
I'm not scared
But I should be
Cause you'll still be living
While I'm busy singing
I will not let you live

Take one step
Have you got it in you
You'll have to take it if you want to
You'll have to face the consequences
That can bring you down
Don't try and play the game
Cause you could get knocked back underground
Take one step
Have you got it in you
You'll have to fake it like you always do
You'll have to face the consequences
That can bring you down
Don't try and play the game
Cause you could get knocked back under
Knocked back underground

So take your chances
Treading water in the fountain of youth
The truth will set you free
Well now you're drowning in the water
In the fountain of youth
The world will set you free
Well now you're floating in the water
In the fountain of youth
The truth will set you free
Well now you're poisoning the water
In the fountain of youth
The world will set you free

Take one step
Have you got it in you
You'll have to take it if you want to
You'll have to face the consequences
That can bring you down
Don't try and play the game
Cause you could get knocked back underground
Take one step
Have you got it in you
You'll have to fake it like you always do
You'll have to face the consequences
That can bring you down
Don't try and play the game
Cause you could get knocked back underground

I think I'm having a heart attack
A full blown arrest of the cardiac
Got to get it under control
Cause this whole thing's gonna take me down
Still I'm bound to end up six feet under the ground
Under the ground
And I'll take you with me if I go down

Cause I don't want to live a day
Without a piece of you to keep me company
Cause I've always had the trouble with authorities
Still breathing down your neck as a priority
Cause I don't want to live another day
Without your company

I'm think I'm talking us half to death
So let me take a breath
So I can learn a little more about you
I can't hear thing
You're breaking up, you're breaking up
Did you fall asleep
Cause I won't sleep or wake at all
While I lie wondering why
Everytime I wake up I just find you sleeping in
What to make of my situation
Destined to end this way
Hand me the crown, hand me the crown
And I'll take you with me if I go down

Cause I don't want to live a day
Without a piece of you to keep me company
Cause I've always had the trouble with authorities
Still breathing down your neck as a priority
Cause I don't want to live another day
Without your company

Feel the earthquake beneath you
As I slowly disappear in each wake
Feel your bones break
As I pull you in closer and closer
Until I find the right piece of you to take

Cause I don't want to live a day
Without a piece of you to keep me company
Cause I've always had the trouble with authorities
Still breathing down your neck as a priority
Cause I don't want to live another day
Without your company
Cause I don't want to live a day
I don't want to live a day
Without a piece of you to keep me company
A piece of you, a piece of you
Cause I've always had the trouble with authorities
Still breathing down your neck as a priority
Cause I don't want to live another day
Without your company

Well if you're in from the start
Then we're in this together
If you're not then I'll have to
Take on this world
Cause this world can't take on me
I won't let go
I feel so lost without it
Crawl down my throat
I just can't think about it now
If it's your turn to live
Then it's my turn to give it up
And if you drop the bomb
Then I'll pick it up

I'm afraid to be
I stick it out by my heart can't hack it
Just an example of inconsistency
I feel like I'm jaded
I've given it all I have to give
Burnt out, frustrated
I feel like I'm an enemy of the world

If the timing is right
Then I'll turn back the clock
And as the minutes count down
I'll put my trust in this world
Cause this world can't trust in me
I'm holding on
I just can't believe that
All hope is gone
I'm such a wreck without it now
If it's your turn to live
Then it's my turn to give it up
And you bring the heart
Then I'll bring the beat

I'm afraid to be
I stick it out by my heart can't hack it
Just an example of inconsistency
I feel like I'm jaded
I've given it all I have to give
Burnt out, frustrated
I feel like I'm an enemy of the world

I have to take on this world
Cause this world can't take on me
I'm holding on
And as the minutes count down
I'll put my trust in this world
Cause this world can't trust in me
I won't set go
If it's your turn to live
Then it's my turn to give it up
And if you drop the bomb
Then I'll pick it up
If it's your turn to live
Then it's my turn to give it up
And you bring the heart
Then I'll bring the beat

I'm afraid to be
I stick it out by my heart can't hack it
Just an example of inconsistency
I feel like I'm jaded
I've given it all I have to give
Burnt out, frustrated
I feel like I'm an enemy of the world
I'm afraid to be
I stick it out by my heart can't hack it
Just an example of inconsistency
I feel like I'm jaded
I've given it all I have to give
Burnt out, frustrated
I feel like I'm an enemy of the world

I've been up since three in the morning
and I'm wearing down
she's had me chasing my tail for days,
running around this goddamn town
trying so hard to pick up the pieces
find the creases
hang them out to dry
but now my fingers are split and bleeding
so while my callous peeling
you'll get to help me

fly about
I'm no cavalier without
over time I've seen a lot of things
I'm not that proud to talk about

call out my name
to save the day
believe me when I tell you I don't feel like I'm okay
not that I'd even want to
one step out of line is still one step in the right direction
so make the connection it's saved me too

I've been hearing some things over this past year
and it's making me fucking sick

I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
I'm looking forward towards tomorrow
while you're looking back upon today

It's not something to cry about
I'm so cavalier without
over time I've seen a lot of things
I'm not that proud to talk about

I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
sing it out just a little louder, sing it out til the walls begin to shake
I'm looking forward towards tomorrow
while you're looking back upon today
sing it out just a little louder, sing it out til your lungs begin to ache
I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
sing it out just a little louder
