Wake me up, slap my face. Draw me closer in to your embrace. . 'Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke. And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope.
Here you are now, fresh from your wars. Back from the edge of time. And all that you were, stripped to the bone. I thought you'd want to know. . When you feel the world is crashing.
I'm on, two, three, four. Wanna do your best tonight. Check, check. . Cold day, stuck in my head. War games, interstates. Restless adolescence. Presidential motorcades.
Before and after. (Matt Coban). . And you don't know what tomorrow holds. Can't believe we sold our souls that blind. It just takes a little time. To take back what they said to you.
And your photo stills. In your wallet with your unpaid bills. And you show it like it means something. You could never know the pain it brings. . And then here you are, standing in our drive.
(written by kevin griffin). (transcribed by ferlen david iii). . Baby. It's so close. Heart to heart. We won't be torn apart. Lately it's so hard. Try to feel my way in the dark.
My heart is covered; passion always tugging at my mind. Although we search for freedom, It seems that we get more confined. Narcissism, fucking prison-selfishness the crime.
Carpathian dream, bloodthirsty beast. Preying on man, every drop of blood a feast. A wraith in the night calls your name. At the mountain top burns the eternal flame.
Something's buzzing round your brain and it won't let go. Could be saying all you need to know, It could control who. You are 'til you become a passenger, When all is said and done.
Travelling this strange and dark dimension. Awakened by the powers of the night. On insanity's path I saw redemption. Now I only see with the moon's eye.
(Duet with Ryan Adams / Rolling Stones Cover). . Gold Coast slaveship bound for cotton fields. Sold in a market down in New Orleans. Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright.
Blue and you lean on me, you know that your crushin' me. You're soaking and I cannot breathe. You're seedin' the clouds, you're buildin' a web 'cross the night.
I used to miss the cold winter-nights back then. I waited for the day to pass so you would come again. Remember how I fed you (those memories do stain) ?.
Took a friend I found across some blood red river. Never did find my way home in time to forgive her. Why must people always want what they can't have?.
From my soul I found some pride. I only found this after she died. From a moment I acquired such grace. Everybody seemed to want to take her place. . The best part to life it seems.

Away beyond the blue. Away beyond the blue. One star belongs to you. One star belongs to you. . And every breath I take. And every breath I take. I'm closer to that place.
Looks like you're never coming home. Looks like you'll make that road alone. Caught in the headlights of a very mixed up world. Where everything you fear.
You changed my mind. You said something I had never heard. Something that is too high. It's left me limping and in wonder. . Because all the things I know.
