1. THIS IS GONNA HURT

Feels like your life is over
Feels like all hope is gone
You kiss it all away
Maybe maybe
This is a second coming
This is a call to arms
Your finest hour won't be wasted
Hey hey hell is what you make
Rise against your fate
Nothing's gonna keep you down
Even if it's killing you
Because you know the truth

Listen up listen up
There's a devil in the church
Got a bullet in the chamber
And this is gonna hurt
Let it out let it out

You can scream and you can shout
Keep your secrets in the shadows and you'll be sorry
Everybody's getting numb
Everybody's on the run
Listen up listen up
There's a devil in the church
Got a bullet in the chamber
And this is gonna hurt

You got your hell together
You know it could be worse
A self-inflicted murder
Maybe maybe
You say it's all a crisis
You say it's all a blur
There comes a time you've gotta face it
Hey hey hell is what you make
Rise against your fate
Nothing's gonna keep you down
Even if it's killing you
Because you know the truth


2. LIES OF THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Well this ain't no sideshow
This is the great unknown
This is the poison we take
Yeah

Outside the velvet rope
Standing there all alone
Are the grotesque and ashamed
Yeah

Well if you think real beauty's on the outside
Well that's a far cry
From the truth
Maybe all the information you received
Well you should not believe
There's no proof

Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people
It's time to run from the lies of the beautiful people

I feel so traumatized
Doped up and televised
Life can be cruel and insane
Yeah

But we've got these ugly scars
On our infected hearts
Maybe it's time for a change
Yeah
And if you think real beauty's on the outside
Well that's a far cry
From the truth

Maybe all the information you received
Well you should not believe
There's no proof

Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people
It's time to run from the lies of the beautiful people

Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people
Just run and hide from the lies of the beautiful people

Save yourself from all the lies of the beautiful people
It's time to run from the lies of the beautiful people


3. ARE YOU WITH ME

Laughing like we're crazy
Nothing mattered
Nothing fazed me
We were younger then
So much younger then
Everything seems rotten through
The eyes of the forgotten
And we were dumber then
So much dumber then

Well have I judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me
Are you with me now
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now
Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you
Are you with me
Are you with me

The years they took their toll
And all the things I can't control
Come back to haunt me now
Almost taunt me now
Whats left to be afraid of
We found out what we are made of
And we've come this far
We both have the scars

Have I ever judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me
Are you with me now
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now
Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me

Well have I judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Find the places that scare you
Are you with me now
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now
Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you
OH
Come on I dare you
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me


4. LIVE FOREVER

You were right, we never really gave a damn,
We spent our lives, running through the wasteland,
An early sign, we should have had a better plan,
But we were young

Well close your eyes and try to count to seven,
And if we die, I'll meet you up in heaven,
'Cause you're beautiful

We were so independent,
So high on ill intentions,
We would explode in fury,
We were too scared to worry, anyway

But now, you're the only thing left worth dying for,
You give me a reason I can't ignore,
And make me wanna live forever,
You're everything I've been waiting for,
For all of these years and a thousand more,
And make me wanna live forever

When I woke up,
And wonderland had gone to hell,
It choked me up,
But maybe it was just as well,
'Cause you and I,
We burned up every brain cell,
And bridge we had.

We were so independent,
So high on ill intentions,
We would explode in fury,
We were too scared to worry, anyway

Now, you're the only thing left worth dying for,
You give me a reason I can't ignore,
And make me wanna live forever,
You're everything I've been waiting for,
For all of these years and a thousand more,
And make me wanna live forever


5. SURE FEELS RIGHT

The traffic's backed up on the 405,
And the smog's so thick you can cut it with a knife,
But it gives me time,
To think about my life,
I take the 10 to the 5 to the 101,
I got a song sitting here on the tip of my tongue,
And the more I drive,
The more I feel alive

Well I don't know what you're doing to me,
But it sure feels right,
Well I don't know what you're doing to me,
But let's do it all night,
When the sunlight breaks through the LA sky,
For some damn reason it makes me smile,
And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But it sure feels right

I'm driving down Sunset Boulevard,
Sex Pistols on the radio in my car,
And I must be high,
I just saw Jesus walk by
I make a hard left as the sun comes up,
Over Hollywood vampires ditching their luck,
Baby lock your door,
Yeah we've seen this before

And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But it sure feels right,
And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But let's do it all night,
When the sunlight breaks through the LA sky,
For some damn reason it makes me smile,
And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But it sure feels right

And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But it sure feels right,
And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But let's do it all night,
When the sunlight breaks through the LA sky,
For some damn reason it makes me smile,
And I don't know what you're doing to me,
But it sure feels right

But it sure feels right,
Soaking up the sunshine,
Sitting on the forward Five,
I can take my time just to do what I like,
Because it sure feels right,
Just singing to the radio,
I don't know what you're doing to me,
But let's do it all night

Just singing to the radio,
Everybody's singing to the radio


6. DEADLIHOOD

The sun is shining,
And everything's dying,
Your star has burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood

What the hell,
This ain't no way to treat the living dead,
Is this something from a novel that you read,
It's time to cut the cord and say goodbye,
Cause it's the only thing that hasn't happened yet,
And when it does I wished we'd never met,
I did the best I could

The sun is shining,
But everything's dying,
Your star has burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood,
I swear you told me
That you'd be my life support,
Guess I misunderstood,
You were my deadlihood

Hey, your insanity that's driving me insane,
Well heaven knows that I'd erase you if I could,
Oh God I wish I could,
God I wish I could

The sun is shining,
But everything's dying,
Your star has burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood,
I swear you told me
That you'd be my life support,
Guess I misunderstood,
You were my deadlihood

The sun is shining,
And everything's dying,
Your star is burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood

The sun is shining,
But everything's dying,
Your star has burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood,
I swear you told me
That you'd be my life support,
Guess I misunderstood,
You were my deadlihood


7. SMILE

As the light, washes over the morning rise,
You're still asleep, and that's all right,
I can be still, cause you look so sweet,
And beautiful, next to me

And all my life,
I've been waiting for someone like you,
To make me smile,
You make me feel alive,
And you're giving me everything,
I've ever wanted in life,
You make me smile,
And I forget to breathe,
What's an angel like you,
Ever do with a devil like me

You make me smile,
You make me smile,
You make me smile,
Smile

Still in bed, sun is beating down,
In a hotel room, on the edge of town,
Wake up baby, it's three hundred miles to drive,
And the truck-stop preacher,
Well he says God is on our side

And all my life,
I've been waiting for someone like you,
To make me smile,
You make me feel alive,
And you're giving me everything,
I've ever wanted in life,
You make me smile,
And I forget to breathe,
What's an angel like you,
Ever do with a devil like me


8. HELP IS ON THE WAY

Hey hey
Well I'm a paralized soul
And I don't know where to go
Well I should open my eyes
Yeah I should open my eyes

I'm a left out only child
The attention gets me high
And I'm so unafraid
I like fortune and fame

And when I hear the sirens coming
My tempature begins to drop
Am I'm so unaware
That my heart's about to stop

Hey everybody needs somebody
Wants somebody
Hey everybody cracks and bleeds
So hit your knees
And pray that help is on the way
Everybody pray that help is on the way

Well I can sypmathise now
Cause I'm finally breathing out
But this is not over yet
No this is not over yet

Even though we're damaged goods
I would love you if I could
But you are so unalarmed
By my unfortunate charm

And now I'm screaming bloody murder
As my tempature begins to drop
And my life is going numb
As my hearts about to stop

Hey everybody needs somebody
Wants somebody
Hey everybody cracks and bleeds
So hit your knees
And pray that help is on the way
Everybody pray that help is on the way

And sometimes I wish you were dead
And I'm not even joking
I'd put a gun to your head
And when the world crashes down
You'll see it's not so funny
What will you say to the press

Hey everybody needs somebody
Wants somebody
Hey everybody cracks and bleeds
So hit your knees
And pray that help is on the way
Everybody pray that help is on the way


9. OH MY GOD

She was born at 6am on New Year's Day,
In an alley right at the heart of
Where the homeless children play,
And the truth is that we will never even know her name,
Cos as long as we can fill our glasses up,
We will look the other way

And it's not that far from here, to New Orleans,
Where the seemingly forgotten people
Are still foreclosen on their dreams,
And we'd just as soon keep on staring at the TV screen,
While this world just bleeds to death like
Some romantic end to a movie

Oh my God, this is insane,
How'd it get like this, or has it always been this way,
Oh my God, I'm so ashamed,
When we try to close our eyes and make this go away

And we sit in our highrise apartments
And complain about things that don't matter,
And we race through this life just to see
Who can die with as much as we can gather,
And a few blocks away a teenage mother plays Russian Roulette with her daughter,
Is this the best that we can do,
Is this the best that we can do

Oh my God, this is insane,
How'd it get like this, or has it always been this way,
Oh my God, I'm so ashamed,
When we close our eyes to make this go away


10. GOODBYE MY FRIENDS

Piles of roses at my feet,
Friends and lovers gather around me,
Whisper farewell one by one,
Clear their conscience as they surround me
Close your eyes, you will be okay

No remorse and no regrets,
For what I've done and what I've said,
Isn't life lived, right at the edge,
And when it's not, that's when you're dead

So goodbye my friends,
To hell with the sorrow,
We have made amends,
It's time to say
Goodbye my love,
By this time tomorrow,
It will be the end,
Goodbye my friends

Douse my youth in gasoline,
Lit a match and laugh while it's burning,
Writing my loves word by word,
All the lessons I have been learning
Close your eyes, you will be okay

No remorse and no regrets,
For what I've done and what I've said,
Isn't life lived, right at the edge,
And if it's not, you know you're dead

So goodbye my friends,
To hell with the sorrow,
We have made amends,
It's time to say
Goodbye my love,
By this time tomorrow,
It will be the end,
Goodbye my friends


11. SKIN

Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain

Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be ashamed

Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin

Oh

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin

Oh

When they start to judge you
Show them your true colors
And do onto others
As you'd have done to you

Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignorance is blindness
They're the ones that stand to lose

'Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not your skin

OHHHHHHHHHH

Well they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not
That you are not your skin

Oh

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not
That you are not your skin

Oh
