Lyrics

Lord, give me a sign that she'll come around
Take your time, if she'll come around

I heard the sirens in my sleep
Smoke and fire were my dreams

And all the times...you pushed us away...
You'll wake up
You'll wake up

Lord give me a sign, she'll come around
Take your time, if she'll come around

This prayer just feeds back in my ear
A hope that melted on my tongue

And all our postcards...you threw them away
You'll wake up
You'll wake up
Every time you pushed us away...
You'll wake up
You'll wake up

How did we get so carried away?
You'll wake up
You'll wake up
Every time you pushed us away....
You'll wake up
You'll wake up

We spent a winter asleep to let our troubles divide
When you came over, sat right on my shoulder
Said "the spring won't see us alive"
If you climb over to the next floor baby
You will see that every where’s a mess
I caught you running for the backdoor lately
Now you're standing on the windowsill
Like you were ready to jump...

As ice makes way to the heat
Your heart will melt down for me
The devil silent, whispers in the quiet
Things about her I’ll never see
If you come over to the dance floor baby
I will show you everything I know
If she's sane today tomorrow it's crazy
Her body broken in the lights below
I'd be the first to deny...
She gave in one last time....

A drug that went straight to her head
Candle's burning in her bed
Flames that fall around the wick
Wings lay shattered in the ditch
She was my ever-watching-eye...
And I was her Six String Samurai....

Sensation-is running my life
It don't feel right at all, as hard as I might try to know
Motivation-is harder to find
When I just back away, for you I try to keep it down

If I just let the fear inside my home
And make friends with these vampires and ghosts
Here’s a toast...

Impatience-is keeping my will
From taking the kill tonight, I can't sit patiently, I know it's hard
Frustration is always nearby
But I'm not taking pills, to satisfy, to fill the hole

I let the fear inside my home
Make friends with all these vampires and ghosts
It's better than dining every night on my own
We all must go where light won't show us the way to go
Feel the blood run through your bones while you can

Obsession with my dead friends
It's Halloween over and over again
It's opium, it's heroin, it sucks you in
It sucks you in, it sucks you in.

Everyone I see is doing it wrong
Thought we started something but now it's done
Everything is moving in slow motion
Thought that we had something but now it's gone
Taught me to believe but had no faith
Everyone you see is going away
Taught me to believe but had no faith
Everyone you see is going away
Someday
Will it ever change?
You found me when I was going down
I'm doing what I've got to do now
Tell me just who's the one with no way out?

Everyone I see is doing it wrong
Thought we started something but now it's gone
Everyone is moving in slow motion
Thought that you were different but I miss-thought
Am I not supposed to feel alright?
I've played my hand, All In tonight
Am I not supposed to feel alright?
I've played my hand, All In.

You say it's love but I can't believe it
Say it's trust but I can't believe it
Say it's love but I can't believe
Say it's trust but oh
Someday...
Will it ever change?
You found me when I was going down
I'm doing what I've got to do now
Tell me just who's the one with no way out?

The TV screams out fear, hands are always cold
Looking in the mirror, you think you are alone
To feel something, be something great
It's politics and war and power
Don't you look away
I'm not seeing straight

Brother hold me close sister what have we become
Envy in disguise driving anger in disguise
Brother hold me close sister what have we become
Envy in disguise driving anger in disguise as...

This culture has become just like magnesium
It kept us feeling strong, kept us feeling young
But burn it and soon you'll be blind
To feel something, do something right
We fight it out

Brother hold me close sister what have we become
Envy in disguise driving anger in disguise
as love...
As love...

I hate these kids as good as my childhood is
It's these towers they kept us in
That turned me against them
Blew away right in the wind
I’ll sit on this grave of

Weight I've just laid down and watched it go
Call me out on this as I rest for a little while

I never changed, I never changed one bit
I only thought I did
I've felt the whip of these false promises
If I let you win I'm safe, I'm safe

Oh wait, it's ok, call me out on this
Take it as you will, I've just laid down for a little while

Oh Hey! I’ve just laid down and watched you go
Call me out on this, I'm not playing I'm crawling out of this game
For good.

You play those sad old songs to me
I've been there from the very start
And after time I had lost the words
Do you want to break my little heart?

Can't you see it's easy to be a friend when a friends in need
But when you're up there on the stage it's great
And you're a stranger to us now

I think way back to those lonely bars
The clubs where I was charmed so
Forget these lonely stadiums
Come back into our arms

Can't you see it's easy to be a friend when a friends in need
When you're up there on the stage it's bittersweet

Sleeping soundly so at peace I see you smile
I take the knife, I take your life, your soul is mine

Can't you see it's easy to be a friend when a friends in need
But when you get up on the stage it's great
You're dead to us now
