I've gotta say something and get this off my chest,
Im scared as hell to be a no one. Can't give up without a fight.
Every day I try to get so far, taking shots from the world from a loaded gun. Never felt so fucking beaten down, but we'll give em hell kids.
Aim high, swing low, swing hard. Let's make some battle scars.
Show 'em what it takes to be black and blue. Mixing blood and sweat just to repair your wounds. I feel more alive right now when Im lying one foot in the grave.
It sears and it spreads, in it's violence. It's cathartic. Lie to my face like it's an artform. Oh god the innocence I ripped apart to pay my dues. I fucked the world that fucked me too. It's too sweet.
Aim high, swing low, swing hard. Let's make some battle scars.
Show 'em what it's like to be black and blue. Mixing blood and sweat just to repair your wounds. I feel more alive right now when Im lying one foot in the grave.

We've come to far to turn back now.
We have the heart of a champion, maybe someday we'll get better.

We're calling you out and as far as I can see, this ain't no need for a dust up. More like a good sweep. I told you what you wanted to hear. So it's my turn now just pull a chair up, make yourself at home. I've been dying to tell you, that I want to beat you to your knees. Im so sick of the trash you talk. Pulling teeth while I just spit the truth. Take mind, everything I say to you, it's true, and I've chosen my words carefully.
We're gonna shake shake shake it up, break apart your whole world. Make make make you want, make you want to talk about why you're always so pissed at my for doing the things you'll never do or see. I hope you're soaking all this in, so when it's sink or swim you'll follow in and commemorate your body to the sea.
Get with the program, you're never gonna talk this hard so just sit and cry about it. You're nothing but a fake anyway.
We're gonna shake shake shake it up, break apart your whole world. Make make make you want, make you want to talk about why you're always so pissed at my for doing the things you'll never do or see.
We're gonna step step step it up show you what we're made of. Take, break, pull apart every thing you thought you knew about value and what it's worth to anyone who has any at all.

It seems that counting change is never worth that much to me, but when you add it up and break it down a dollar's worth it's weight in gold. I'm gonna aim this drag at the dashboard so I can watch the smoke clear for once.
This is my time, this is my time to save me from myself. I'm strapped for cash but money can't buy anything for me. No. You get what you get when you only put a little into it.
It can't rain all the time. You've gotta give what you get from this. Pick your battles carefully cuz one day you might learn from your mistakes, from your mistakes.
I watched the world rest on my shoulders for far too long. If history repeats itself, I'll dig an early grave. And I've seen the skies come crashing down. Lonely bodies littering the ground. But I'll hold my place with time and sound. If you could see me now, I know exactly what you'd say "That boy sure cleans up well".
This is my time, this is my time to save me from myself. I'm strapped for cash but money can't buy anything for me. No. This is my time, I'll quit when I'm dead.
It can't rain all the time. You've gotta give what you get from this. Pick your battles carefully cuz one day you might learn from your mistakes, from your mistakes.

Avalanche

I've been building walls to reach the highest peaks. I've been burning bridges to hide my tracks. And I, and I know that it's my fault when the snow capped mountain tops collapse and bury me underneath.
And I'll make my home under the avalanche, I'll build it with pride.
I'm in too deep to make it out alive. I'm doing just fine.
I'm a worthless coward sometimes. I wear my heart upon my sleeve and dirty it with lies. And I, and I know that it's my fault but I can be a better man without dying inside.
And I'll make my home under the avalanche, I'll build it with pride.
I'm in too deep to make it out alive. I'm doing just fine.
And I'll make my home under the avalanche, I'll build it with pride.
I'm in too deep to make it out alive. I'm doing just fine.
And I'll make my home under the avalanche, I'll build it with pride.
I'm in too deep to make it out alive. I'm doing just fine.

Worth Fighting For

You're not alone, you're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for. You're not alone, You're not alone, You're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for.
If I keep on climbing I've got farther down to fall, but if I sit here pining I'll go nowhere at all. We're not designed to hibernate. I've got your back if you've got mine.
You're not alone, you're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for. You're not alone, You're not alone, You're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for.
If "Everybody Hurts" played would it even tug a chord? Or do you sit there crying holding out for Dashboard? You can't sit back with no release. You've got to fight to get your piece.
You're not alone, you're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for. You're not alone, You're not alone, You're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for.
I can't stand another second to pass by, while i'm dying here trying to live my life. If I hope for someone to fix it, then I'm gonna fucking wait until I die.
You're not alone, you're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for. You're not alone, You're not alone, You're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for.
You're not alone, you're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for. You're not alone, You're not alone, You're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for.
You're not alone, you're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for. You're not alone, You're not alone, You're not alone. I've got something here worth fighting for.

Well they say no news is good news, but in your case the forecast is calling for a war. And I know with how your hips lay, I can see the storm is coming cuz you're churning like a hurricane.
We've got a chance now, to change how we can make love out of the wreckage of our car crashed hearts. And oh, I've seen a better man in me since we've apart, but I can't help but dance in the flames that you and I can start.
And all you do is drive me crazy. Since the day you said you'd be my pretty mess. And all I do is drive you insane, so lets roll with the punches cuz no one else will touch us.
I know its hard for you to see, I'm not your god damn property. But boy you make me smile, so I'll hold on just a little while. You've got a hold on me, ripping like a tsunami. Wind and waves holding me tight, lets cut that cord tonight.
We've got a chance now, to change how we can make love out of the wreckage of our car crashed hearts. And oh, I've seen a better man in me since we've apart, but I can't help but dance in the flames that you and I can start.
