Standing In The Shadows

Open your eyes, your mind
Buckle up and you'll enjoy the ride
Just dump on your pride
You can have all your daydreams
Your daydreams
If you play it safe then you'll make no mistakes
No blood, sweat you're tasting
Where do I begin? The sin?
Inhibitions are thrown to the wind
Take it on the chin
Now we're getting started
Let's start it
Every once in a while, your style, whatever it is
Can be piled and left behind you
How can it feel right, standing in the shadows?
Open your lamplight, just to watch the shadows dancing
If there's a way home, is that what you're hoping for?
Not by a blame sight
If mines a ghost town
Then down goes that last shred you had of renown
And the talk of the town
But who gives a fuck really?
I mean really
Like I said before the door is there to be opened some more
And left behind you
How can it feel right, standing in the shadows?
Open your lamplight, just to watch the shadows dancing
If there's a way home, is that what you're hoping for?
Not by a blame sight
Tonight you let it out, you let it go
Tonight you let it out, you let it go
Tonight you let it out, you let it go
Tonight you let it out

Nowhere Faster

You wear your crown
But I'm up and you're down
What you need?
You stand your ground
You're lost and I'm found
What you see?
And the wait is on, as you stand in line
And the game is long and the lights are gone
And you're nowhere faster
And the wait is over, as I lay the line
And the game is won and the lights are on
You are nowhere faster
You wear me down
You wear me down
What you see?
You're out of luck
'Cause I'm out of love
What you need?
And the wait is on, as you stand in line
And the game is long and the lights are gone
And you're nowhere faster
And the wait is over, as I lay the line
And the game is won and the lights are on
You are nowhere faster

This War Needs Guns

You're crazy, you're on your own
You're out of touch and you're out of control
You've done this before
Your way to settle a score
Is throw your money around
And make more dust on the ground
It's just lie after lie and it's time after time
Although you say it's "we"
What you mean is "me"
As an open disgrace to the human race
I'll say my fond farewell
You're gonna burn in hell
This war needs guns like a forest needs a fire
We've come undone
And we wallow in the mire
Needs must when the devil drives
And he's racing along and he's by our side
This war needs guns
What the world needs now is for you to drown
We don't even feel betrayed
Because your games are just a plague
This war needs guns like a forest needs a fire
We've come undone
And we wallow in the mire
Needs must when the devil drives
And he's racing along and he's by our side
This war needs guns

Peace Of Mind

All is calm
Before you bite your nose off to spite the face you fear again
I'm gonna push the alarm
Your paths on self destruct I'll cross my arms and say 'amen'
A ticking time-bomb
You tank, hurricane, you whirl-wind
Your heads gone
I heard your battle-cry tonight, saying
Peace of mind your step in time to go in for the kill or cure
Before the storm
Your fear is squashed into a temper-trap and out the way
You didn't count to 4
You sighed a "1, 2, 3" and just like that it's time to pay
And now you see red
A sullen, surly, sombre sight
Rush of blood to the head
That feuds this fortune-favoured fight, saying
Peace of mind your step in time to go in for the kill or cure
