Open doors so I walk inside Close my eyes find my place
to hide And I shake as I take it in Let the show begin
Open my eyes Just to have them close again Well
on my way On my way to where I graze It swallows me
As it takes me in his home I twist away As I kill this
world Open doors so I walk inside Close my eyes
find my place to hide And I shake as I take it in Let the
show begin Open my eyes Just to have them close
once again Don't want control As It takes me down and down
again Is that the moon Or just a light that lights this
deadend street? Is that you there Or just another demon
that I meet? The higher you walk The farther you
fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My
body my temple This temple it tells "Step into the house
that Jack built" The higher you walk The farther
you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl
My body my temple This temple it tells "Yes this is the
house that Jack built" Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin The higher you walk The
farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl
My body my temple This temple it tells "Yes this is
the house that Jack built" The higher you walk
The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you
crawl My body my temple This temple it tells "Yes I
am I am I am" Open my eyes It swallows me
Is that you there I twist away Away Away
Away
Where do I take this pain of mine. I run but it stays
right by my side. So tear me open and pour me out There's
things inside that scream and shout, And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps. Just like a curse, just
like a stray. You feed it once and now it stays, Now it
stays. So tear me open but beware There's things inside
without a care, And the dirt still stains me So wash me
until I'm clean. It grips you so hold me It stains
you so hold me It hates you so hold me It holds you so
hold me Until it sleeps. So tell me why you've
chosen me Don't want your grip Don't want your greed
Don't want it Now tear me open make you gone No more
can you hurt anyone, And the fear still shakes me So
hold me, until it sleeps It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me It hates you so hold me It holds
you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps (x4) Don't want
it want it want it want it want it no So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care, And the dirt still
stains me, So wash me till I'm clean. Now tear me
open make you gone No longer will you hurt anyone, And
the hate still shapes me, So hold me until it sleeps (x5)
Wish I may Wish I might Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied? Dig for gold Dig for fame
You dig to make your name Are you pacified? All
the wants you waste All the things you've chased Then it
all crashes down And you break your crown And you point
your finger, but there's no one around Just want one thing
Just to play the King But the castle's crumbled and you're left
with just a name Where's your crown, King Nothing? Where's
your crown? Hot and cold Bought and sold A
heart as hard as gold Yeah! Are you satisfied? Wish I
might, Wish I may You wish your life away Are you
pacified? All the wants you waste All the things
you've chased Then it all crashes down And you break your
crown And you point your finger, but there's no one around

crumbled and you're left with just a name Where's your crown,
King Nothing? Where's your crown? Huh!

just a name Where's your crown, King Nothing? Where's your
crown? Oh, You're just nothing Where's your crown
King Nothing? Oh, you're just nothing Absolutely nothing
Off to never, never land
The window burns to light the way back home A light that
warms no matter where they go They're off to find the hero of the
day But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And
someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Do you feel
your name? Did you hear your babies crying? Mama they try
and break me Still they try and break me Excuse me
while I tell them how to feel These things we turn to me that
still seem real Now deservingly this easy chair But the
rocking starts the wheels of this play Don't want your
hate But the fist I make For you still no fear No
not on me So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel
But now the dreams end And now the dreams end They
everlast the night So build a wall Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light So can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Did you
hear your name? Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams end And now the dreams end They
everlast the night So build a wall Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies crying
now? Oh they try and break me Oh they try and
break me Oh they try and break me Oh they try Oh

Mama, she has taught me well Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book Don't close it 'fore its done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest" That's what I heard her
say A son's heart sowed to mother But I must find my way
Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my
heart go Let this heart be still Yeah, still
Rebel, mind your last name Wild blood in my veins They
bring strings around my neck The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age Of what I heard was wrong I
never asked forgiveness But what is said is done
Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still Never I ask of you But
never I gave But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my
grave Never I ask of you But never I gave But you
gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave So let this
heart be still Mama, now I'm coming home I'm not
all you wished of me A mother's love for her son Spoken,
help me be I took your love for granted Not a thing you
said to me I needed your arms to welcome me But, a cold
stone's all I see Let my heart go Let your son
grow Mama, let my heart go Let this heart be still
Let my heart go Mama, let my heart go You never let
my heart go So let this heart be still Never I ask
of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave Never I ask of you But never I
gave But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
Let this heart be still
Forgive me father For I have sinned Find me guilty
of the life I feel within When I'm branded This
mark of shame So I look down disgraced for saying I know that you
must feel I am, I am the secret I am, I am the sin
I am, I am the guilty And I, I am the thorn within
Forgive me father For I have sinned Find me guilty
with true guilt that's from within So point your fingers
Point right at me For I am shadows and will follow you
whatever see my way I am, I am the secret I am, I
am the sin I am, I am the guilty And I, I am the thorn
within I do your time I take your fall I'm
branded guilty for a soul So point your fingers
Point right at me For I am shadows and will follow you whatever
see my way I am, I am your secrets I am, I am your
sin I am, I am your guilty And I, I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
Stories taught Quiet town Small time for big time
crowd Never talks Never plays Different path
Lost his way The streets are red Red I'm afraid
There's no confetti No parade Nothing happens in this
boring place But oh my god how it all dismays And they all
pray Blood stain wash away He said "Lost my
way This bloody day Lost my way" I heard it
He said "Lost my way This bloody day Lost my
way" Oh please wash away But blood stains the sun red
today I always said Something wrong Little
strange All day long Never laugh Never smile
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles Yellow comes
Sun I say Keep your smile and laugh all day He falls
again in this foreign place For little boys how they do chase
And they all pray Blood stain wash away He said
"Lost my way This bloody day Lost my way"
I heard it He said "Lost my way This bloody day
Lost my way" Oh please wash away But blood stains the
sun red today (Spoken) Yeah, well all the green
things died When Ronnie moved to this place He said
"Don't you dare ask Why I'm cursed to wear this face" I
know why the children called him Ronnie frown When he pulled that
gun from his pocket They all fall down down down
He said "Lost my way This bloody day Lost my way"
I heard it He screamed "Lost my way
This bloody day Lost my way" Oh please wash away
But blood stains the sun red today All things wash away
They all fall down But blood stains the sun today
All things wash away They all fall down But blood stains
the sun today
You know I wait my whole lifetime for you I ride
the dirt I ride the tide for you I search the outside search
inside for you To take back what you left me I know I'll
always burn to be No one seeks so I may find And now I
wait my whole lifetime My whole lifetime So on I
wait my whole lifetime for you So on I wait my whole lifetime for
you The more I search the more my need for you The
more I blast the more I bleed for you You make me smash the clock
and feel I'd rather die behind the wheel Time was never on
my side So on I wait my whole lifetime My whole lifetime
And I'm torn And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open And if my face becomes sincere Beware
And when I start to come undone Stitch me together And
when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw
torn And if I close my mind in fear Please pry it
open And if my face becomes sincere Beware And
when I start to come undone Stitch me together And when
you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw
torn
