I lay awake at night and wonder what Im here forAm I to stumble through life or is there something more?And when light falls down again on eyes that have seen better daysI think that its time time to change my waysIts time to changeBut time is only here to changeOur bodies growing weaker our faces growing deeperWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the sameWe walk the streets our parents built and follow the fading tracksEyes focused on our feet but were never really looking backWe try so hard to get there that we forget to look aroundAfraid to follow in the footsteps of the ones that have fallen downIts time to changeBut time is only here to changeOur bodies growing weaker our faces growing deeperWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the sameIs it fate that determines which way my path will go?Is there some way I could know? Do I really wanna know?If I could see my future tell me what would I see?Will I become my idols or just an older version of me?Its time to changeBut time is only here to changeOur bodies growing weaker our faces growing deeperWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the sameIts time to changeBut time is only here to changeWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the same

I met a girl in a bar in Virginia writing poetryMaking art from all the things that she seesShe said she never went to college and didnt think shed make it bigTouring around the country on a string of coffeehouse gigsShe said its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you want to do?My uncle Tyler worked on Wall Street for a large accounting firmBut he got tired of living life on someone elses termsNow he owns his own restaurant lives in the suburbs walks his kids to schoolAnd he sees his wife a lotHe said its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you want to do?Not cut out to be a doctor or a lawyer Ill just play guitarAnd sing for my supper in a small town barIll always wonder if Id walked the beaten path what I could have beenBut for right now you know I wouldnt change a thingCause its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you wanna do now?I said its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you want to do?

Nobody lives here anymoreSince the city came and boarded up the doorAnd left that boy out in the coldBut if you were able to take a look insideYoud see a tragedy that the whole town tried to hideBlacked out the windows and put the place under lock and keyUnder lock and keyIf you asked the townsfolk no one seems to knowIts more like a legend but so the story goesA couple moved in here just a few years agoThe father was a writer and a drinker on the sideAnd on more than one occasion the mother had to hideThe bruises and abrasions that he left the night beforeThis old house is broken downThe foundation crumbles in the palm of my handBuild it up just to burn it to the groundAnd its swept away under a sea of stoneThen one night it happened with a bottle in his handSomething snapped inside him and he went for her againBut this time would be different this time their little boy was homeTwelve years full of violence and confusion in his headHe reaches for the pistol that he hid under his bedAnd swore to himself that this would be the last timeThis old house is broken downThe foundation crumbles in the palm of my handBuild it up just to burn it to the groundAnd its swept awayNow the walls look old and worn the mirror-glass is broken and the draperies tornAnd theres splinters in the carpet from where the shots came through the floorBroken bottles and spent casings on the groundPeppered holes in the walls and stains running downAlmost like the house itself was bleedingThis old house is broken downThe foundation crumbles in the palm of my handBuild it up just to burn it to the groundAnd its swept away yeahBuild it up just to burn it downBuild it up just to burn it downBuild it up just to burn it down and its swept away

Come and see what youve left of meCome and see what youve doneYou melt me down and drink the rest of meGather round everyoneOh everyoneCause Im evaporatingI get this feeling inside that Im losing myself day by dayAnd all this waitingFor someone to come leaves me feeling like Im watered downEvaporatingCome and see the mess youve made of meCome and see before Im goneYou light the fire much too close to meBut dont let it burn for too longCause Im evaporatingI get this feeling inside that Im losing myself day by dayAnd all this waitingFor someone to come leaves me feeling like Im watered downEvaporatingAnd all this time that I give to youAnd all this time that I give to youCause Im evaporatingI get this feeling inside that Im losing myself day by dayAnd all this waitingFor someone to come leaves me feeling like ImLeaves me feeling like Im leavingDay by day

Deceased thats me come join the next sceneThe legacy continues in purgatoryHappy to leave lonely meNo telephone just roaming your home on and on now.Its dead necks party to rememberWho could ask for more everybodyBodies at the door no invitationA party where no ones still alive.Love me my thoughts to you and only youCause intimacy comes with only controversyIm sent by you till mornings dewNo telephone just roaming your home on and on.Its dead necks party to rememberWho could ask for more everybodyBodies at the door no invitationA party where no ones still alive.

The rage in ruins and the conference of the daysWe should meet up thereI heard that you could scream and yellIt’s the perfect atmosphereAnd I hope you truly comeAnd all the good go wrong my freedomLeads me hereAnd I think there’s more to come…Dusty river dryness in my eyesBut I can clearly see it fade awaySomewhere in the western part of spaceWe will see it once againThe rage in ruins and the conference of the daysWe should meet up thereI heard that you could scream and yellIt’s the perfect atmosphereAnd I hope you truly comeAnd all the good go wrong my freedomLeads me hereAnd I think there’s more to come…Dusty river dryness in my eyesBut I can clearly see it fade awaySomewhere in the western part of spaceWe will see it once again (3x)

Why was everyone so engulfed?When all I care about is my morning Big GulpBut its in the way that I cant get awayFrom the judgment thats forced everydaySo I will look for the tunnel to comeInstead of the light that it was looking from Dont get this wrong cause it kills to be rightAs I smoke everything in sightAs I smoke everything in sight.And were addicted to chaos And Ill see you tonightSmoking while watch the tune and In our sightsAnd well drive and drive and drive and drive and driveThrough the nightAnd Ill swoop in on before your endless flight.If what was thought was really saidId socialize till the day I was deadBut its in the way that I look in the mirrorAnd the guardian that keeps me hereSo I will look for the tunnel to comeInstead of the light that it was looking fromDont get this wrong cause it kills to be rightAs I drink everything in sightAs I drink everything in sightAnd were addicted to chaosAnd Ill see you tonightDun-Dee kingdom is in our sightsAnd well fly and fly and fly and fly and flyThrough the nightAnd Ill swoop in on before your restless flight.

When I’m Alone at nightAnd I feel as I Might Pick up the phone and try to call you but I don’tBecause it don’t feel rightAnd it’s not my time for youBut now that doesn’t meanThere wont be you and meTo lay out on the ground and watch the burning sun go downNow time is all we needAnd I am sure you’ll seeSomething will be found in meBut for now you won’t be mineAnd I will wait ‘till the end of timeUntil I learn to know that your feelings won’t growAnd I know deep insideThat I can’t sleepChorusI’m not that closeI’m not that close to you nowI’m not that closeI’m not that close to you nowI have a photographAnd it makes you laughAnd makes us feel so good just like I know how good it shouldThen I realize you are not here beside me nowThen I break downAnd it comes spilling outI’m not feeling so good just like I know how good it shouldAnd then I realize you are not here beside me nowBut for now you won’t be mineAnd I will wait ‘till the end of timeUntil I learn to know that your feelings won’t growAnd I know deep insideThat I can’t sleepChorusI’m not that closeI’m not that close to you nowI’m not that closeI’m not that close to you nowI’m not that closeI’m not that close to you nowI’m not that closeI’m not that close to you now
