That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul now the same
And my body guides the way

And as I see The planes
take over the sky

to the end

Sing:
Shooting daggers at me
Letting it be known
you're not impressed
I never fail at failing
all your tests
Don't be so proud
Cause you're still so
scared to be alone
You can't change your
Growl:
mind You won't embrace
this, But you'll accept
this, You can't let go
Broken stars
By a single shattered mirror
Seven years of trust
I know you'll never
change for anyone
A cold heart never lusts
My mind's made up
And I would know I'd
do the right thing
Get up and stand tall
My mind's made up
Why I'm scared I won't be
able To get up when I fall
We cast a single shadow
for so long now
It's so hard to, see the
sun at all (the sun at all)
But you need light to see
the writing on the wall
My mind's made up
And I would know I'd
do the right thing
Get up and stand tall
My mind's made up
Why I'm scared I won't be
able To get up when I fall
into the hole I've made
I'll place myself alone
I'll find the strength
within myself
A G--- x4
To climb out on my own own!
My mind's made up
And I would know I'd
do the right thing
Get up and stand tall
My mind's made up
Why I'm scared I won't be
able To get up when I fall
Growl:
Yeah!!
These broken stars
Should be put back in the sky
I can still feel your scars!
I won't, I won't let you die!
We won't, we won't fade
away! And now, right now
save this lonely place!!!!!

It was on our wedding day
When my heart began to stray
Never thought I'd make
such a big mistake
Throw my life away
beat swtiched from standard 4/4 to 3/4
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without
sleep Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't
Ebm B C-- B--
heal It's all your fault
I've been shattered and wrecked
My hands covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
Now I'm weak with deceit
My skin is paper thin
We get through this
Feeling it keeping
it holding it in
We go through this
Over and over again
Sing:
I'd go years without tears
In a life with no fear
A life without you
Now I'm breaking my back
as I cover my tracks
My skin is paper thin
Growl:
once again

I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without
sleep Keeping this in

Key:
Chords used:
I knew I couldn't trust
you back when we were kids
You sold me out you ran and
hid From all your problems
can't even face your friends
(hold)
Your best friends
You're holding something in tonight
And I can tell you're not alright
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing
Cross your arms, avert your eyes
You're like a child ashamed to
cry The words inside your head
When I find out you'll wish you said
I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There is no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldnt be less true
It's the worst thing I could do
You're gonna bet it all on black
And when it's gone you'll want it back
Cause truth will mix with reason
And cheating's the ultimate treason
And I could see through you like glass
Slither around below the grass
Garden of Eden burning
Forbidden fruit you won't discern it
(Repeat Chorus)
Growl:
My loss your gain
Do you love to
play this way?
Ill cross your face
It's your reckoning
Sing:
Hold in the pain
We're better
off this way
We don't explain
We're better
off this way
Friends are in
vain We're better
off this way
Growl:
(Better off this way)
I knew I couldn't trust
you back when we were kids
You sold me out you ran and
hid From all your problems
can't even face your friends
(hold)
Your best friends

8.) A Shipwreck In The Sand
Key:
Chords used:
Shane Speaks:
Once upon a time
Before the lakes and
rivers were polluted
Before the animals were
poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed
the earth's atmosphere
There was a great ship
This vessel was to
venture into new waters
To find new resources to make
life easier and more enjoyable
It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness, health, and possible death
As time passed by there was
no new land to be found
As the days grew shorter
And the nights grew
longer and colder
The crew became more and more
skeptical about the captain's vision
Originally passionate and
committed true and faithful
They now began to revolt
Sing:
You crossed the line
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to
stand for something
And everyone should
take the lead
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail
Shane Speaks:
As the mutiny started and the
captain was overthrown and
chained He asked them why
their minds had changed
There's no gold to be found
no treasure in the ground
We won't die for this
We won't die for you
Sing:
You've lost your minds
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to
stand for something
And even if they disagree
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail
E--F--G#m- x2
Shane Speaks:
This dream is now
A shipwreck in the sand
They gave up they
made all their demands
The storm consumed
fifty seven souls
Who died in vain
his love they stole
This union a battle
fought and lost
This union is not
about the cause
This union was
never about love
This union This union
(Repeat)
This union a battle
fought and lost
This union is not
about the cause
This union was
never about love

thought of you two
How could you do this?
My best friend with my bride
Now you tell me you are leaving

I hope your home when I arrive
If the there's a fire
in the afterlife
I'll be there again
to light the

body and sets free the demons inside
I am the one that never ignores you
that never will let you down
Cm-- x4
Growl:
They'll suspect but they'll never
prove I was there (I was there)
In my fate I feel the
wrath of adrenaline (of adrenaline)
It's so hard to run away
when I want to stay
(I am the light that warms up
your body and sets free the demons inside)
To watch it burn, watch it churn
(I am the one that never ignores you
that never will let you down)
10.) You're All I Have
Key:
Chords used:
---- x2
I wake up in the afternoon
Empty walls make up the room
And I'm wishing for one thing
To give myself the strength
to keep myself alive
Long enough to make
sure you don't try
To turn out anything like me
Another fraud, another fake
Don't pretend you're
not the one who's wrong
You're keeping me sane
when I'm feeling alone
I wield my heart
and my flesh and bones
Don't leave me to
die by myself I can't
live without you
Someone is creeping
through the blinds
Calling me from
these confines
there's only so
many more days
Until you're cast away
From ever seeing me
They won't understand
they'll never see
The way you medicate my
head Without you here
I'm left for dead
(Repeat chorus)
Post chorus: Bass
Without you here
Sing:
You're all I have
In a world that judges
long before it sees
You're all I have
In a place that hates
me and only wants to
Push me down and
walk forsaken
Pass the point and
then you'll break me
I won't be fine
you're all mistaken
Don't pretend you're not
the one who's wrong
Growl:
Don't you pretend
It's gonna be okay
Don't lie, and say
It's better off this way
Don't pretend
Don't you pretend
(You're not the
one who's wrong)
Don't lie and say
(You're not the one
who's wrong)
Sing:
Don't pretend
(Repeat Chorus)
Here (Don't you pretend
don't you pretend)
Without you here
(Don't lie and say)
You're not the one
who's wrong
You're keeping me sane
when I'm feeling alone
(I wont live without you)
You're not the one who's wrong
Don't leave me to die
when I'm feeling alone
(Don't leave me to die)
I can't live without you
Don't pretend you're not
the one who's wrong

Key:
Chords used:
drumbeats
I've always been
your favorite game
And all the world's
your spot lit stage
I'm just another extra
in your play the fool
(Turn on tune in)
I'm ready for your drama
(Tape up, weigh in)
You're throwing
every hook tonight
Your charismatic lies make
tears run down their cheeks
(Run down their cheeks)
I've lost the only thing I
need Here's to the plaintiff
And now you've taken her away
(Repeat chorus 1)
(Pull out the pin)
I'm falling on the grenade now
(Don't shoot, don't shoot)
I'm just a kid like you
We fight for billionaires
who bomb our city streets
(Armed to the teeth)
Divide the youth for
corporate greed
Here's to the propaganda
And now they take your life away
I've always been
your favorite game
And all the world's
your spot lit stage
I'm just another extra
in your play
(Repeat)
And now that war has been declared
How long until bombs burst in air?
We've come too far Just to let
this die to throw this away
(Repeat Chrous 2)
(We're not the world)
In your play
(We're not the world)
In your play - the fool
(We are not the world)
In your play - the fool

Key:
Chords used:
Sing:
Hey! I've
lost everything
Now I've gotta
find a way out
Hey! They keep
asking me
where I was when
it was burning
Sing:
There's no trying to explain
They'll lock me up again
Throw away the key
The protagonist became the
villain they disdain in every way
Sing:
Hey! I've
lost everything
But I'm gonna
find a way out
Hey! Nothing
is left for me
except melody
and hatred
Sing:
No evidence was found
They'll let me go for now
At least till tomorrow
Sing:
And Hey! When tomorrow
brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone Now
As I drive away and
leave the past behind
I think I'm dying
Post Chorus: ---
Sing:
It's so pathetic
I hate you so much but
I still miss you
Karma is hard to kill
When everything you
do and say is all for
Remorse is hard to fake
When you only feel
sorry for yourself
Sing:
I'm coughing up my blood
It's filling up my lungs
It's killing me
Sing:
Hey! When tomorrow brings
the morning sun again
I'll be long gone
(I'll be long gone)
Dead! Lying all around on
this motel room floor
I know I'm dying
(I know I'm dying)
Growl:
Hey! (Hey!)
I've lost everything
Now! (Now!)
I've still got to praise
Hey! (Hey!)
It's not that surprising
A hero loses everyday

Who worshiped you
My hands were your guns
Your eyes were my nerve

And I knew you could

I had so much

You could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart

I fell for your dreams
I fell for your lies
There was no other way
You know I tried

Key: [B]
Chords used:
Shane Speaks:
Once upon a time
Before the lakes and
rivers were polluted
Before the animals were
poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed
the earth's atmosphere
There was a great ship
[Abm] This vessel was to
venture into new waters
To find new resources to make
life easier and more enjoyable
[F#m] It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
[C#m] They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness, health, and possible [Abm]death
As time passed by there was
no new land to be found
As the days grew [F#m]shorter
And the nights grew
longer and colder
The crew became more and more
skeptical about the captain's vision
O[C#m]riginally passionate and
committed true and faithful
They now began to revolt
Sing:
You [Abm]crossed the line
I was honest
I never promised [E]anything
Just a brotherhood to
stand for something
[C#m] And everyone should
take the lead
Follow your [E]dreams
If you don't try you fail
Shane Speaks:
[Abm] As the mutiny started and the
captain was overthrown and
chained He [E]asked them why
their minds had changed
There's no [C#m]gold to be found
no treasure in the ground
[E] We won't die for this
We won't die for you
Sing:
You've [Abm]lost your minds
I was honest
I never promised [E]anything
Just a brotherhood to
stand for something
[C#m] And even if they disagree
Follow your [Abm]dreams
If you don't try you fail
E--F
Shane Speaks:
[E] This dream is now
[F#] A shipwreck in the sand
[Abm] They gave up they
made all their demands
[E] The storm consumed
[F#] fifty seven souls
[Abm] Who died in vain
his love they stole
[E] This union[F#] a battle
fought and [Abm]lost
This union is not
about the [E]cause
This union[F#] was
never about [Abm]love
This union This union
(Repeat)
[E] This union[F#] a battle
fought and [Abm]lost
This union is not
about the [E]cause
This union[F#] was
