Tales of the Knife

Get up, it's time to go, the golden door is open
There is a place on the other side to hide
I see myself there walking down the path
I see myself there staring at the sun

I'm walking out that door
There's no way I'm staying here
I never thought I'd go
But I'm gone and you'll never see me again

I want to go back
But sometimes the weather
Is too cold to stay and I can leave now

It's too cold outside my lips are starting to freeze
It's too cold outside my eyes are starting to bleed

Where is the Humility
Inside of this mission
When did you suddenly decide
Decide on this Vision
I could have tried harder, to deal well with this

Who told you it was ok to run tonight?

How do I show you
How you make me feel
How do I show you
How I feel
A Monday in Vegas
That was Real

What can I say to you
I need more defenses
You seem to think that I
Deserve your Pretenses
I could have tried harder, to deal well with this

But you leave me exhausted
Thats what I miss

We're running this together,
That what I miss

I see them coming from way over there
To witness the world's most alluring nightmare
Covered in black and filled with green
The most beuatiful thing they've ever seen
A place of ease can cover pain
To them the road less traveled is a lie

Don't worry about me

Can you hear the crowds running to the one that I know?

The pyramid once again takes its toll
Teaches every kid to say Rock and Roll
Live your life and all the pleasures in it
In this life the hours turn to minutes
The pleasures of life are too much for one shoulder
Try and drop the weigh you can't hold it
Why o why can't they see
The nail scarred hands that are waiting so patiently

The black pyramid will consume you

I'm going to seek you like a freight train
Flying through the night
I'm about to take flight
Cuz I've found the light
I'm moving forward in what I know is real
Gonna do this no matter how I feel
I'm going to find you like a lost cause
Searching for release
From the pain that has binded me like a disease
I realize, can't live less the love of God
Come on what else, you know theres nothing

So comfortable we sit and watch our lives go to waste
So comfortable we sit and watch our world fall away

I'M NOT FALLING AWAY!

I can't do this anymore
Sitting in my lawnchair drinking lemonade
In this superstar lifestyle that I've made
My comfort level seems to be always on the rising
It's North America, it's not surprising

I can't do this anymore, Watch my world fall away
I can't do this anymore, Watch my life go to waste

Time and Time again, you want to make Amends
you want to battle the Max
you want to battle the Ax

By the time you recieve this
By the time you get this letter
I'm sorry time has hurt you
I meant to write much sooner
The days are long now
The nights seem even longer
I'm thinking of when I kissed you
Thinking of being without her
Take my hand and the skyline
Look to me and darling please don't cry

We'll walk together
We'll find that place
We'll never be apart
We'll fly together
We'll find that place, the day you broke my heart

Please undertand I miss you
I won't be gone much longer
I wish you were closer to me
We could enjoy this life together

Convince me, Console me tell me that I'll be
Coming home soon, my love
When we're together that place
The day that you broke my heart

As I build my weapon it destroys me

You lied to me
About where you were
Don't you lie to me
About what you saw
Don't you lie to me

Pick up your knife and hand it to someone else
Tonight
After the fight there will be lots of blood for everyone
Tonight

Was it you?
Who keeps funding this untimely operation
Then you find yourself walking breathing in the casing
Of the Man-Made weapon

It's in you its in me
Man Made Weapon
