NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

 

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

THE UNFORGIVEN

New blood joins this earth
and quickly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules
with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub thee unforgiven

I WILL SURVIVE

CAKE

at first I was afraid

I was petrified

I kept thinking I could never like without you

by my side

but then i spent so many nights

just thinking how you've done me wrong

I grew strong

I learned how to get along

and so you're back

from outer space

I just walked in to find you

here without that look upon your face

I should have changed that fucking lock

I would have made you leave your key

if I had known for just one second

you'd be back bother me

well now go,

walk out the door

just turn arround

now, you're not welcome anymore

weren't you the one

who tried to break me with desire?

did you think I'd crumble?

did you think I'd lay down and die?

oh not I,

I will survive

yeah

as long as I know how to love,

I know I'll be alive

I've got all my life to live

I've got my love to give

I will survive,

I will survive

yeah, yeah

it took all the strength I had

just not to fall apart

I'm trying hard to mend the pieces

of my broken heart

and I spent oh so many nights

just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry,

but now I hold my head up high

and you see me

with somebody new

I'm not that stupid litle person

still in love with you

and so you thought you'd just drop by

and you expect me to be free

but now I'm saving all my lovin'

for someone whose lovin'me

well now go,

walk out the door

just turn around

now, you're not welcome anymore

weren't you the one

who tried to break me with desire?

did you think I'd crumple?

did you think I'd lay down and die?

oh no I,

I will survive

yeah

as long as I know how to love,

I know I'll be alive

I've got all my life to live

I've got all my love to give

I will survive,

I will survive

yeah, yeah

oh no

Come Out and Play

you gotta keep'm separated

they're like latest fashion

they're a spreading disease

the kids are strappin'on their way to the classroom

getting weapons with the greatest of ease

the gangs stake out campus locale

and if they catch you slippin'then it's all over pal

if one guy's colors and the other's don't mix

they're gonna bash it up

bash it up x3

hey, man you talkin'back to me

take him out

you gotta keep'm separated

hey, man you disrespecting me

take him out

you gotta keep'em separated

hey, they don't pay no mind

if you're under 18 you won't be doing any time

hey, come out and play

by the time you hear the siren

it's already too late

one goes to the morgue and the other jail

one guy's wasted and the other's a waste

it goes down the same as the thousand before

no one's getting smarter

no one's learning the score

you never ending spree of death and violence and hate

is gonna tie your own rope

tie your own rope

tie your own

hey, man you talkin'back to me

take him out

you gotta keep'em separated

hey, man you disrespecting me

take him out

you gotta keep'em separated

hey, don't pay no mind

if your under 18 you won't be doing any time

hey, come out and play

HIGH ENOUGH

I don't want to hear about it anymore

it's a shame I've got to live without you anymore

there's a fire in my heart

a pounding in my brain, it's driving me crazy

we don't need to talk about it anymore

yesterday's just a memory, can we close the door?

I just made one mistake

I didn't know what to say when you called me baby

don't say goodnight

say you're gonna stay forever

oh, whoa, all the way

can you take me high enough

to fly me over yesterday?

can you take me high enough?

it's never over and yesterday's just a memory

yesterday's just a memory

and I don't want to live without you anymore

can't you see I'm in misery?

and you know for sure

I would live and die for you

and I'd know just what to do when you call me baby

don't say goodbye

say you're gonna stay forever

oh, whoa, all the way

can you take me high enough

to fly me over yesterday?

can you take me high enough?

it's never over and yesterday's just a memory

I was running

I was running for the door

realizing now or never

I was running back for more

ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

don't say goodbye

say you're gonna stay forever

oh, whoa, all the way, all the way

come all the way, yeah

can you take me high enough

to fly me over yesterday?

can you take me high enough?

it's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

can you take me high enough

to fly me over yesterday?

can you take me high enough?

it's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

PAPERCUT

why does it feel like night today?

something in here's not right today...

why am I so uptight today?

paranoia's all I got left

I don't know what stressed me first

or how the pressure was fed but

I know just what if feels like

to have a voice in the back of my head

it's like a face that I hold inside

a face that awakes when I close my eyes

a face watches every time I lie

a face that laughs every time I fall

(and watches everything)

so I know that when it's time to sink or swim

that the face inside is here in me

right beneath my skin

chorus:

it's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back

it's a whirlwind inside or my head

it's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

it's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me

points out all the mistakes to me

you've got a face on the inside too and

your paranoia's probably worse

I don't know what set me off first but

I know what I can't stand

Everybody acts like the fact of  the matter is

I can't add up to what you cant but

everybody has a face that they hold inside

a face that awakes when they close their eyes

a face watches every time they lie

a face that laughs every time they fall

(and watches everything)

so you know that when it's time to sink or swim

that face inside is watching you

too right inside your skin

[chorus]x2

there's a face inside that's right beneath the skin (x3)

the sun goes down

i feel light betray me (x2)

[chorus]x2

ESTRANGED

when you're talkin'to youself

and nobody's home

you can fool yourself

you came in this world alone

(alone)

so nobody ever told you baby

how it was gonna be

so what'll happen to you baby

guess we'll have to wait and see

one, two

old at heart but I'm only twenty eight

and I'm much too young

to let love break my heart

young at heart but it's getting much too late

to find ourselves so far apart

i don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately

an what more could you ask from me

how could you say that i never needed you

when you took everything

said you took everything from me

young at heart an it gets so hard to wait

when no one I know can seem to help me now

old at heart but i musn't hesitate

if I'm to find my own way out

still talkin'to myself

and nobody's home

(alone)

so nobody ever told us baby

how it was gonna be

so what'll happen to us baby

guess we'll have to wait and see

when I find out all the reasons

maybe I'll find another way

find another day

with all the changing seasons of my life

maybe I'll get it right next time

an now that you've been broken down

got your head out of the clouds

you're back down on the ground

and you don't talk so loud

an you don't walk so proud

any more, and what for

well I jumped into the river

too many times to make it home

I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone

if it doesn't show give it time

to read between the lines

'cause I see the storm getting close

and the waves they get so high

seems everything we've ever known's here

why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you

guess I'll have to make it through, this time - oh this time

without you

I knew the storm was getting closer

and all my friends said I was high

but everything we've ever known's here

I never wanted it to die
