Nervous Sooner Changes

The windows of time are frozen
Where are the teardrops going
Another heartbeat is slowing
Plain as day, something is broken
And the wheels inside my head are turning
Like the lines i keep relearning
I can't stay, no i can't stay
This time i have to go

I thought that we would last forever
Superstitions never say never
And i feel i've been abandoned
With a lack of understanding
I might regret the steps i'm taking
I can't stay, no i can't stay
This time i have to go

Out of the cape of disappointment
Where i'm bound, i don't know yet
The winds that change direction
The harbors of rejection
And the blade inside of me is twisting
I've spent my live resisting
I can't stay, no i can't stay
This time i have to go

Ain't it strange how we risk it all
For one last shot befor the curtain falls
Cause you know i can't let go
It's a crazy feeling that we can't control
This sound of freedom called rock and roll
And you know you can't let go
It can wreck your spirit, ruin your live
But you pay the price to reach that high
Cause you know you can't let go
For every bad moment when you've had enough
You tell yourself just one more touch
Cause you know you can't let go

As you stand on the stage and bare your soul
Your nerves are shot and the crowd's turned cold
But you know you can't let go
For in that moment, the blink of an eye
It can make you smile or make you cry
Cause you know you can't let go

In wreckless world of one night stands
Uncertain futures and broken plans
But you know you can't let go
It's the rock rebellion, the teenage heart
You're gonna be replaced, it will tear you apart
But you know you can't let go

Oh, it ain't safe, you better watch out
They're coming to get you - sickle and shroud
They'll turn you to stone and burn out your sky
They've got your number - television eyes
The cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights

You think you can fight, hold on to your ground
The fingers of doom - time's counting down
You think you can run from the mushroom cloud
Rain turns to cinder when the hammer comes down
The cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights
You the cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights
You're living on the edge of a psycholdelic nightmare

I covered my face, i closed my door
The skyline was falling like the armies before
In the dust and the heat, the sound of change
Hell bent for leather, nothing remained
The cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights

Rivers of sorrow, diamonds in the rough
Everything you wanted and it still ain't enough
Load it in the chamber, fire point black
If it don't make change, it don't make rank
I'm not ready

Strike in silence, witnesses denied
If we all take the backseat, who's gonna drive
Eye on america, justice is blind
If we're so far ahead, how come we're running behind
I'm not ready

I'm not ready to let go
I'm not ready for stereo
I'm not ready to give in
I'm not ready to start again
I'm not ready to be controlled
I'm not ready to be so-so
I'm not ready to calm down
I'm not ready to leave this town

Crashing throug the twilight spell
Miracles are not for sale
Maybe i'm ahead of the fall
Drifting out of paradise
Taking exit 95
It's to close to call
I'm not afraid

Crossed the unidentified
Discovered that i'm terrified
Baby, there's no way out
Hope is such a sorry state
Just another face in the crowd
I'm not afraid

Disgusted by the point of view
That everyone must be like you
Running while the rest of us crawl
Buy your way or play your game
I've seen your act it's really lame
I'm a social default
I'm not afraid
