Альбом Stone Sour

(I am a) Dominant gene - live as I die
Never say forever cause forever's a lie
I can see right through you so I can ignore you
The story changes but the ending won't bore you
I tried to tell you but you simply obeyed
You didn't listen so they threw you away
Now all you do is talk - I don't wanna hear your bullshit...
Is this what you want?

This is where it BEGINS
This is where it ENDS
This is where it BEGINS
And this is where it ENDS

They called us a dead generation
They told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and we’re coming;
Let’s see ya say that shit to our face
30/30-150 Remembers, 30/30-150 Hates


In-My-Own-Peculiar-Way-I-Feel-Mercurial
Before I get ahead of myself again
I know the where, but I still don't know the when
You wanna live in a one-sided world?
Be prepared for a whole world of hurt
Now it's the grand facade - I don't want to be an angel...
I just want to be GOD


They called us a dead generation
They told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and we’re coming;
Let’s see ya say that shit to our face
30/30-150 Remembers, 30/30-150 Hates, HATES

(I am a) Fuckin' machine - fueled by the past
A memory's a memory until it's a fact
I can bury the hatchet and let some shit go
But I got too many grudges to hold!

I saw a lot of people die in the end
I never want to WALK that road again
Now I will never give up - I don't want to have it all...
I JUST WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH

This is where it BEGINS
This is where it ENDS
This is where it BEGINS
And this is where it ENDS

They called us a dead generation
They told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all clearly alive
We know where you are and we’re coming;
Let’s see ya say that shit to our face
30/30-150 Remembers, 30/30-150 Hates

Can you take away every single day
That we have given to another false prophet?
Can you give us all a reason not to fall
Before you take away another broken promise?

Show your pretty face - hide the bitter taste
You're still the rapist of an entire nation
You wanna be The Man? You gotta BE a man
But you are nothing but a sad insinuation

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

Keep your fingers crossed - the truth is at a loss
Big decision for an ordinary coward
The only problem is your fuckin' rethoric
We're more in danger than before you took power

Now it's just a game - god, you'll never change
You'd sell us out if you could only find a buyer
You don't give a shit
As long as idiots are in your corner, you could set us all on fire

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be - they only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free? WHAT THE HELL IS FREE ABOUT IT?

Now we're reached the end, just get it over with
But this is building to an adamant conclusion
Come Whatever May, there's gonna be a day
When we have figured out a plausible solution

Everything you've done is killing everyone
A little smile on a homicidal bastard
You wanna be a Man? you better have a plan
Another failure is a guaranteed disaster

How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be - they only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free? You only wanted the world...
You never wanted to be - they only wanted a parody
You want the world to be free? WHAT THE FUCK IS FREE ABOUT IT?
WHAT THE FUCK IS FREE ABOUT IT?
WHAT THE FUCK IS FREE ABOUT IT?

I'm a not victim 'til I let you take me down
I'm a not target in the sights of your mercy
I never asked for anything - I'M NOT ASKING NOW
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID - I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me cuz I refuse to die

I haven't weakened just because I've shown myself
I've taken everything except what's for granted
I'll leave hypocrisy for everybody else
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID - I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me cuz I refuse to die

I'm not a problem 'til you make one out of spite
I'll give you Hell and Consequences for trying
If you don't want an enemy, DON'T FUCK WITH MY LIFE!
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID - I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me cuz I refuse to die
I've done this on my own, and I don't care what you do to me
I won't hand over
I won't hand over what is mine
I've done this for too long to let you take it away from me
It's too late to stop me cuz I refuse to die
I REFUSE TO DIE

Freedom's just a word today - freedom's just a word
When someone takes your word away, it's seldom ever heard
So take a sentence full of things you're not supposed to say
Carry on... but don't write 'em down, or you'll be gone

Love is just a song today - love is just a song
When someone takes the song away, you seldom sing along
So take those lyrics serious and sing your life away
Carry on...but don't write 'em down, or they'll be gone

All we ever do is talk - we like the ride, but we never walk
We make it so damn easy we get bored
Why can't anybody see - what's good for you is good for me
I can't take your Silly World - I can't take your Silly World no more

Peace is just two fingers now - peace was just a phase
When someone put it on a shirt, you knew to count the days
So take those fingers, tape 'em and shove 'em up your ass
And carry on... but don't try it now, cuz peace is gone

All we ever do is talk - we like the ride, but we never walk
We make it so damn easy we get bored
Why can't anybody see - what's good for you is bad for me
I can't take your Silly World - I can't take your Silly World no more
We fight our instincts - we go to extremes
We fight our instincts - we go to extremes

We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives
We fight our lives

THIS ONE came from looking - THIS ONE opened twice
THESE TWO seemed smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
THIS ONE needed stitches and THIS ONE came from rings
THIS ONE isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care

Yeah - CUT right into me
Yeah - because I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS

THIS ONE had it coming - THIS ONE found a vein
THIS ONE was an accident, but never gave me pain
THIS ONE was my father's and THIS ONE you can't see
THIS ONE had me scared to death,
but I guess I should be glad I'm not dead

Yeah - CUT right into me
Yeah - because I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS

GOD - DON'T YOU BELIEVE THE HYPE
GOD - DON'T YOU BELIEVE THE HYPE
GOD - DON'T YOU BELIEVE THE HYPE

...And I will find a way - everything you are I will betray
Oh, I swear that I will find a way - everything you are's inside me

THIS ONE was the first one - THIS ONE had a vice
THIS ONE here I like to rub on dark and stormy nights
THIS ONE was the last one - I don't remember how
But I remember blood and rain
AND I NEVER SAW IT COMING AGAIN

Yeah - CUT right into me
Yeah - because I am made of SCARS
Yes, I am made of SCARS
That's what I am made of

I'm walking through your streets - I'm looking in your windows
I'm elemental now - You'll never even know I'm there
I'm watching over you - I'm living in the shadows
I'm just a word to you, but I'm very real and cold
Cold to all of this - Cold to how you feel - Cold to all your lucid reason

I AM EVERYTHING - I AM ANYTHING - I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY- I AM EVERYDAY - I AM GONNA BE,,,

I'm all there is to know - I'm all that you've forgotten
I'm enigmatic now - You never even knew my name
I'm dressed in tragedy - I'm by design immortal
I'm just the last one left, but I'm always here and old
Old and very strong - Old as all you feel - Old as all the world around you

I AM EVERYTHING - I AM ANYTHING - I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY- I AM EVERYDAY - I AM GONNA BE,,,
REBORN

REBORN

RE-BORN
(This is the start of something)

I'm just a secret now - I'm just a vague illusion
I'm a lie you tell yourself that you never truly did believe
I'm a whisper in the dark - I'm a victim, and the killer
I'm almost ready now, but you insist that I don't exist
That I don't exist - that I don't exist - That I don't EXIST

I AM EVERYTHING
I AM ANYTHING
I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY
I AM EVERYDAY
I AM GONNA BE,,, REBORN
(This is the start of something)
REBORN

MOTHERFUCKER
MOTHERFUCKER
MOTHERFUCKER

What am I supposed to do now?

Reveal to me this ugly thing - I'm rusted metal by your head
It's gotten out of hand again - nobody sees it, but I can
You thought of everything, I bet - but did you think that I might die?
I haven't really smiled in I don't know how long, you know
Something's gonna give again - SOMETHING'S GONNA GIVE AGAIN

I tried to fight, but did you listen?
Even after you're gone, man, I'm finished
I could never be your god,
but then I don't even think I want the job anymore

Say something, anything to me - I do believe, but I have doubts
So many reasons to hold on - conflicting interest isn't it
I guess I'm better off in the end, cuz you were always there to blame
I haven't felt so bad in I don't know how long, you know
I can't get away again - I CAN'T GET AWAY AGAIN


I tried to fight, but did you listen?
Even after you're gone, man, I'm finished
I could never be your god,
but then I don't even think I want the job, you see
I tried to fight, but did you listen?
Even after you're gone, man, I'm finished
I could never be your god,
but then I don't even think I want the job anymore

What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?
All I ever did was try, but the story ends, so I guess I'll have to die
Where am I supposed to go now?

Go ahead and go away...
Go ahead and go away...
Go ahead and go away...
Go ahead and go away...
GO AWAY!

What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?
All I ever did was try, but the story ends, so I guess I'll have to die
What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?
What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live now?

How am I supposed to live...
How am I supposed to live...
How am I supposed to live...
How am I supposed to live...

Stone Sour
"Through Glass"

I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head...

How do you feel? That is the question...
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized and folded up like
Paper dolls and little notes, you can't expect a bitter folks
So while you're outside looking in, describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head...

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart - but never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises – null and void instead of voices
Before you tell yourself It's just a different scene
Remembering is just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has passed
Now all I know is that it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head...
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has passed
Now all I know is that it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head...

And it's the stars, the stars that shine for you
And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you

I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head...

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that
Forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head...
And it's the stars, the stars that shine for you
And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you
And it's the stars, the stars that shine for you
And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you
It's the stars, it's the stars, that lie

I remember now, but I still have my doubts
I think it's gonna be today
Everybody came, but it's just not the same
Why did it have to be today?
Now my chest is tight - no, I am not all right
It doesn't have to be this way
Why does it have to be this way?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY

Freedom is a cage - no sun and too much rage
I don't know how much I can take
Push it down inside, but it knows just where I hide
I know that "normal" is hard to fake
Bleeding into life - it's like a thousand knives
Are slowly turning me to this
Why does it have to be like this?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY

I lost again, today...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
IT'S LIKE I'M TOO FAR GONE
IT DOESN'T MATTER, ANYWAY
FEAR IS IN MY HEART - JUST WHEN I STOP, IT STARTS
AND I CAN NEVER LIVE THIS WAY
LIVING WITH A CURSE, SOMETIMES IT'S EVEN WORSE
IT SLOWLY KILLS ME EVERYDAY
SOMETHING I DESPISE IS GONNA TAKE MY LIFE
I GUESS I'LL TRY AGAIN TODAY

Why - is everything so gray - is everything so strange
is everything so thrown together by mistake?
Why - is everything contrite - is everything a plight
Is everything so insincere and out of sight?

WHY - DOES EVERYTHING SEEM WRONG
DOES EVERYTHING LOOK DRAWN
DOES EVERYTHING SEEM BLASTED LIKE IT DON'T BELONG?

I wanna make it a way - I wanna make it a waste
I wanna make it a gross misadventure
I WANNA MAKE YOU ALL!
I WANNA MAKE YOU ALL!
I WANNA MAKE YOU...lie to me...lie to me...

When - did everything go bad - did everything fall flat
Did everything decay and lose itself so fast?
When - did everything succumb - did everything go numb
Did everything lobotomize what it's become?


WHY - DOES EVERYTHING COME BACK
DOES EVERYTHING RELAPSE
DOES EVERYTHING SAVE FACE AND FIND ITSELF AT LAST?

I wanna show you the way - I wanna show you the waste
I wanna show you the worst misadventure
I WANNA SHOW YOU ALL!
I WANNA SHOW YOU ALL!
I WANNA SHOW YOU HOW TO...die for me...die for me...

I wanna give it a way - I wanna give it the waste
I wanna give it the worst misadventure
I WANNA GIVE IT ALL!
I'M GONNA GIVE IT ALL!
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!
Lie to me...die for me...

Now - everything's a lie - everything's your lie
Everything's a face inside another lie
Now - everything's a side - everything's one side
Everything depends on just which side you're on...

This fluid feels like pain - This stoic mood is all in vain
I reach into the dark - I tear this other me apart
How many years ago - How many deaths I can't let go
My flesh is temporary - My God, extraordinary

YOU - CAN'T - KILL - MY - MIND
A man delivered... can never make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end, but I won't give this life away again

Sifting through this same debris - Oh my father, call to me
This smoke is in my blood - This home is just no good
Save me from my bitterness - Give me up, I did my best
Shock this system full of shit - Mock this fucker lost in it

YOU - CAN'T - KILL - MY - MIND
A man delivered... can never make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end, but I won't give this life away
I won't give this life away again
A man surrendered... can never find his own forgiveness
I know my life will end, but I won't give tonight away
I won't give tonight away again

This fluid feels like pain - This ruin feels like rain
I reach into the past - My future's fading fast
How many years ago - How many I let go
My flesh is all I have - My face is happenstance
This smoke is in my blood - This life is not enough
This life is not enough - This life is not enough

I don't know how else to put this - it's taken me so long to do this
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight
My muscles feel like a melee - body's curled in a u-shape
I put on my best, but I'm still afraid
Propped up by lies with promises - saving my place as life forgets
Maybe it's time I saw the world
I'm only here for awhile - but patience is not my style
And I'm so tired that I got to go

What am I supposed to hide now? What am I supposed to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?
Tell me I should stick around for you, tell me I could have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go

I get to go home in one week, but I'm leaving home in three weeks
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry
I'm following suit and directions, I crawl up inside for protection
I'm told what to do and I don't know why
I'm over existing in limbo, I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away...
I'm ready to live with my family, I'm ready to die in obscurity
Cuz I'm so tired that I got to go

What am I supposed to hide now? What am I supposed to do?
You still don't think I'm going to see this through?
Tell me I'm a part of history - Tell me I can have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go

Ah Come on!

You won't admit it but it's true
I'm happy without you
I turn away and let your drama pull you in
You always said I was a fool
But something carried through
I never wanna see your face again

So many problems left behind
I'm sorting out my mind
This idiot has turned into a better man
I found my soul in someone else
It doesn't feel like hell
Doesn't make me wanna kill myself

(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, Stop believing
That I end up right back in your arms
Now I'm bleeding, fucking seething
I was through with you a long time ago

Some people suffer for no reason
But they're the ones to blame
So walk away and let it go and save yourself
Before you tell yourself a lie
Just tell that one goodbye
How much more can you take before you fucking die?

(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, Stop believing
That I end up right back in your arms
Now I'm bleeding, fucking seething
I was through with you a long time ago

(No no no no)
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you
(No! No!)
I have every right to hate you

I was leaving, Stop believing
That I end up right back in your arms
Now I'm bleeding, fucking seething
I was through with you a long time ago

Suffer! Suffer! Suffer! Suffer!

Got a pill in a stomach so tight
Wish I never had a loss that night
I can live through the wall's remain
Try to run but they always find me

Got a room with the devil inside
All the witness keep my secrets high
Whoopsy daisy I must have wilted 'cos
Everything's all tilted

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip and then you come alive
My (?)
I find another reason again

Tether ball with my head on a leash
Keep me down with a shot of disease
I can live through the wall's remain
Try to run but they always find me

I'm a scar
I'm a tag-along toy
Make you company - I'm still that boy
Whoopsy daisy I must have wilted 'cos
Everything's all tilted

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip and then you come alive
My (?)
I find another reason again

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip and then you come alive
My (?)
I find another reason again

You don't wanna love me
You don't wanna love me
You don't wanna love me anymore
Bring it all one time

I'm alone and the sky's with a face
I'm the one with the full-man disgrace
I can live through the wall's remain
Try to run but they always find me
Live my life in a chain-linked fence
They can taste to prolong suspense
Whoopsy daisy I must have wilted 'cos
Everything's all tilted

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip and then you come alive
My (?)
I find another reason again

I keep a little place in the back of my mind
I take a little trip and then you come alive
My (?)
I find another reason again

You don't wanna love me
You don't wanna hurt me
You don't wanna love me anymore
Bring it all one time

Take it away
Oh, take it away
Again...

What a waste of a life this is, every altercation I permit is like a quiet sigh
From a man resigned to a place that was never his
All the hours are long,
Even in a world where I belong
Every second stays, every minute counts against my sentence

I Fall - I had to let you go

What I tried to accomplish died - every offer of faith I had to fight and a dream unfolds
The moon is cold because the sun left early
And the days go by, even when my conscious just won't try
Every week decays, every mouth is rotten -
I AM FORGOTTEN

I Fall - I had to let you go
I Fall - My mind is all I know
I Fall - The table turns to dust
I Fall - Today, I let go of my trust

What a waste time I am, every ounce of life is just dead flesh
I can't forget, but then again you can't let me remember
When I try to speak, Every word I say comes out so bleak
I don't want this, I don't want you
But I DON'T WANT ANYONE
I don't want anyone...

I Fall - I had to let you go
I Fall - My mind is all i know
I Fall - The table turns to dust
I Fall - Today I let go of my trust

I let go of my trust....

My face is horried
And i'm constantly sloutching
My place is lowered
So i'm constantly crouching
I don't believe it
I saw the man again
And he won't hear another word I say

I had illusions so I'm constantly shouting
I have complosions so i'm constantly counting
I don't believe it
There goes my world again
And i don't understand a word i say

Oh, just because i'm paranoid
It doesn't mean i'm not annoyed
And just because i'm not prepared
It doesn't mean i'm not aware

The smoke is infanant
I'm constantly panting
The truth is eminent
I'm constantly ranting
I don't believe it
I took a chance again
and people I don't know won't let it go

I got some problems
So i'm constantly bitching
I got some rashes
So i'm constantly itching
I don't believe it
Forgot the pills again
And i just woke up million miles from home

Oh, Just because I seem sadated
Doesn't mean I'm not irradiated
Just because i'm not immunic
Doesn't mean i'm scared of you

Oh just...Because
Oh just because i'm incomplete
doesn't mean i'm not obsolete
And just because i'm not of you
Doesn't mean i'm not like you
I'm not like you
I'm not like you
I'm not like you
I'm not like..

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
And I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt that way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you

World was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
And I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
No I
No I

Nobody loves no one

The girls on the streets all look sad in this golden crested little town.
Why is that?
Isn’t this the town of dreams?
Yeah, but it comes with a price.
It’s a town that never does anything and yet it takes all the credit.
A place that promises so much, but never has a thing to say, or a care in the world.

There’s no memory here.
No dream for itself but the dreams of others.
And all over the world you talk about a place you’ve only seen in re-runs. Immortalized for its’ vice and deified for its’ carnage.
There’s money in the air there, all you have to do is reach up and grab it.

In basements, garages, parking lots, empty lots, school yards, town cars, back rooms and more; Diamonds are fashion from expectations and fortified on a steady diet of simple lives and red carpets.
The ejaculating zeitgeist and night vision.

Culture is a punch line, an emotionist blood in the water.
The sharks here play games you can’t fathom.

But you flock here anyway.
On college money and credit cards.
Spend a week bullshitting yourself that it was all true, all of it, just to watch in horror as it all falls to pieces under the gravity of reality.
The starry eyes fade as it dawns on you; nothing is guaranteed.
You were part of the great divide; the chosen, or the frozen.

Now you’re miles away without a net. Your college money is a collage of debt and your credit cards are all snapped in fucking half.
Time to wander a landscape bereft of mercy.

This is now the back lot of your failed movie, a waking dream re-written without your permission.
The real luster, the soft focus, the soap-opera vision is just the hindsight of a world who’s been lied to, of sad surfs, and untouchable lords.

You took a chance didn’t you?
But chance didn’t have a part for you this time around, maybe next life.
And you can’t even walk home.

The girls on the streets all look sad in this cardboard, cut out little town.
No wonder.
That’s the only thing here that’s real.

The gold is for fools, and paradise is lost but the hungry have never bothered with the cost.
Day by day they fall away like rose petals, like ink that won’t dry or fade. It just runs wild down cracks and crevasses, grooves and folds.
So I hope someone saves you before you get cold.
I really do.

Because the girls are all sad in this little black book.
