When you see yourself in a crowded room,
do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?
Do you step in line or release the glitch?
Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?
Sitting in my glasshouse
While your ghost is sleeping down the hall
Watching the little birds fly
Kamikaze missions into the walls
Think I'm gonna stay in today
Sit on my couch and watch them fall
[Drums] Life just keeps getting harder
Keeps getting harder to hide
Darker it is around me
Easier it is to see inside
And outside the glass
The whole world is magnified
And it's half an inch
From here to the other side
[Chorus:] Guess that push has come to this
So I guess this must be shove
But before you throw those stones at me
Tell me what's your house made of?
And if you think you know what I'm doing wrong You're going to have to get in line
For the purposes of this song
Let's just say I'm doing fine
I guess I'm doing fine
Trapped in my glasshouse
Crowd has been gathering outside since dawn
Make a pot of coffee
While a catastrophe awaits me out on the lawn
Think I'm going to stay in today
Pretend like I don't know what's going on
Seems that push has come to this
So I guess this must be shove
But before you throw those stones at me
Tell me, what is your house made of?
And if you think you know what I'm doing wrong
You're going to have to get in line
So for the purposes of this song
Let's just say I'm doing fine
I guess I'm doing fine
I am sitting in my glass house
I am sitting in my glass house
I am sitting in my glass house
I am I am

I just close my eyes and I'm already there
It's already too late.
I know it's nothing but lies, but they sound so sincere
I find them too hard to hate
and she calls from the doorway "Stolen water is sweet,
so let's drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
and she calls from the doorway "Stolen water is sweet,
so let's drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
and I'm almost sure that I've been here before
that this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door.
With an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't go in
but it seems this is a battle that I never could win.
When I'm gone, are you gonna miss me? Are you even listening? Do you even care about anything at all?
Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud,
Take a look in the distance,
Try and see it all,
Chances are that ya might find,
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real
Still I'm on my way,
On and on it goes,
Vacant hope to take
Hey - I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And it seems I've been buried alive
I walk the fields through the fire,
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall
Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real
Memories seem to fade
On and on it goes
Wash my view away
Hey - I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And I'm chained like a slave, trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks, death calls my name
And it seems I've been buried alive
Take you down now, burn it all out
Throw you all around, get your ****in'
HANDS OFF ME!
What's it feel like? Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart now you're knockin' AT THE WRONG GATE!
For you to pay the toll, a price for you alone
The only deal you'll find, I'll gladly take your soul
While it seems sick, sober up quick
Psycho lunatic crushing you with
HANDS OF FATE!
Shame to find out, when it's too late
But you're all the same
Trapped inside INFERNO AWAITS!
Evil thoughts can hide, I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin, release the dark within
This is now your life
Strike you from the light
This is now your life
Die, buried alive
This is now your life (what's it feel like)
Strike you from the light (let me take in your soul)
This is now your life (what's it feel like)
Die, buried alive (let me take in your soul)
This is now your life
Die, buried alive!

Another day and you've had your fill of sinking,
With the life held in your Hands are shaking cold,
These hands are meant to hold.
Speak to me...
When all you got to keep is strong, Move along, move along like I know you do. And even when your hope is gone, Move along, move along just to make it through, Move along,
Move along.
Oh God save me for I am wicked and damned
Oh God show me a better way to the Promised Land
Cause I
I can't take it no
I can't shake it no
I can't break it no
Don't wanna eat it no more
I cannot hide it
I'm uninvited
I can't fake it no
I can't shake it
I can't take it
I can't shake shake shake shake
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
Oh God know me I'm just dirty footprints at your door
Oh God hold me from one more trip and liquor store
Cause I
I can't take it no
I can't shake it no
I can't break it no
Don't wanna eat it no more
I cannot hide it
I'm uninvited
I can't fake it no
I can't shake it
I can't take it
I can't shake shake shake shake
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
I'm not praying for a miracle
Just a little peace of mind
And if what I do is all in vain
As I'm screaming going insane
Still I am not my name
God wouldn't save me
So now it's just me and my rotten friends
The drugs ain't working

There's a new world coming
And it's just around the bend.
There's a new world coming
This one's coming to an end.
There's a new voice calling
You can hear it if you try.
And it's growing stronger
With each day that passes by.
There's a brand new morning
Rising clear and sweet and free.
There's a new day dawning
That belongs to you and me.
Yes a new world's coming.
Yes a new world's coming.
It's coming in peace.
Coming in joy.
Coming in peace.
Coming in joy.
Coming in peace.
Coming in joy.
Coming in love.
Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak.
Sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go.
Driving away from the wreck of the day
And the light's always red in the rear-view
Desperately close to a coffin of hope
I'd cheat destiny just to be near you
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up, giving up
Driving away from the wreck of the day
And I'm thinking 'bout calling on Jesus
'Cause love doesn't hurt so I know I'm not falling in love
I'm just falling to pieces
And if this is giving up then I'm giving up
If this is giving up then I'm giving up, giving up
And maybe I'm not up for being a victim
When all my resistance will never be distance enough

The times we cry looking at monologues of life
and thinking how they're written
and how they're written the way they're not supposed to be
the way we wanted it to be
moonlight shines through windows
reflecting off of
reflecting off of faces watching all of these
these times changing
when the tears make mud on the ground.
kick them and think
it could've been different
could've been different
this 4/16 you will hardly smile
because you know there won't be anything worth smiling about
the loss you have, the love you lost,
and the hope that's in between
you tried to hold on to it
you know there's no turning back to see
now when the tears make mud on the ground
kick them and think
could have been different
could've been different
this 4/16 you will hardly smile
cause you know there won't be anything worth smiling about
now when you miss your friends, you will just have to miss them
the loss you have, the love you lost,
and the hope that's in between
you tried to hold on to it
you know there's no turning back to see
spent so much time trying go correct thoughts
and not thinking good thoughts
of all the great times we had
you made this life worth
all the great times we had
you know that we all love you
and we just miss you
and just wish we could see you again
now when the tears make mud on the ground
look at them and think
may have been different
may have been different
this 4/16 we may all just smile
cause we know that you were something worth
smiling about
the loss you have, the love you lost
and all the hope that's in between
you tried to hold on to it
Start making your way back to
see what you can see
When I'm gone, are you gonna miss me? Are you even listening? Do you even care about anything at all?
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again
Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, stranger's hand
In a, desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane, all the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us, the blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and, then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door, and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother, I want to...
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, on a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, c'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me?
Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?
Just to pour that mother****er down the drain like me?
Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?
Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?
Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me?
Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?
And all the people say,
"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,
With your face all made up, living on a screen,
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I think there's a flaw in my code,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
These voices won't leave me alone,
Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold,
Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a ****ing hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers cause you'll never take the blame like me?
And all the people say,
"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,
With your face all made up, living on a screen,
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I think there's a flaw in my code,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
These voices won't leave me alone,
Cover up, cover up, cover up that you're ruthless.
Nobody, nobody, nobody's ever gonna notice.
And I am catchin' up, and I am seein' red,
How about I prove I'm right and raise it overhead?
I never promised you anything I couldn't do,
We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above.
You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently, Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above.
Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again
This is the first thing
I have understood:
Time is the echo of an axe
Within a wood.
I thought that I warned you about the woods:
the pain they caused me, the life it took.
But, here you are now centered & stark.
The sun shines through & lights you up.
But, just as it makes you warm & makes you feel special
it also drains you red just like the devils. I'm green just like the woods.
You're blue just like the ocean.
Your colors drown mine out in one fluid motion.
I don't want to be the one who corrupted you.
Not you, my baby blue.
Another devil on my back.
The straw that will blow my stack.
I know that you're weary of me, careful of me.
You don't have to be afraid of me, scared of me.
I know that you care for me, now and I'm here for you.
I know that you're weary of me, careful of me.
You don't have to be afraid of me, scared of me.
I never tried to corrupt you.
Oh no, not again.
It claimed another.
First it was my friends and now it's my lover.
I'll burn these ****ing woods.
I'll start the god damn fire.
Just to try and save you from the wolves that got you dire.
I don't want to be the one who corrupted you.
Not you, my baby blue.
Another devil on my back.
The straw that will blow my stack.
I know that you're weary of me, careful of me.
You don't have to be afraid of me, scared of me.
I know that you care for me, now, and I care for you.
I know that you're weary of me, careful of me.
You don't have to be afraid of me, scared of me.
I never tried to corrupt you.
Well, I guess that I was the one who corrupted you
& I guess that I have to come running back in.
I'm gonna burn it down.
I'm gonna burn it down.
I'm coming in.
When I'm gone, are you gonna miss me? Are you even listening? Do you even care about anything at all?
"You know concrete colored buildings all grow stale,"
You say as I look up dreaming.
I know better than to include the both of us.
But I can't sleep when you're gone and you say,
"What's another day?"
-----------------------------------------------
Our old world is hard to find.
I doubt it was ever mine to keep.
Were you always this unkind?
We lie belly up in the pool of us.
We lie belly up in the pool of us.
I must say I'll always love you, even if it hurts.
Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak.
Sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go.
I changed my color for you
I shed my coat with caution
I lack the beauty you display
See here there are the bruises
And some were self-inflicted
And some showed up along the way
So i nod my head
Im ready for the world to see
The secret i kept here inside the man you thought id be Slip into coma calm
The coma where i calm myself down
Here comes excuses why i let you down
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become
Chameleon boy
Chameleon boy
So now weve come upon the hardest thing ive ever done
Its telling you that im a mess
What sort of mess i mean
Is self-destructive gasoline
The kind that strips you of your best
And while i play insteadthe way that most would end up dead
You sleep alone at home and wish that i was in our bed
With this im telling you
My color changes back to blue
How do i ask you this
Will you help me through
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become
Chameleon boy
Chameleon boy
I try to think of all the people i look up to
Or growing up who would i be
Now the twisted part
Whered all my idols end up
They all passed away
Passed away
Stand by
Its chameleon boy
Stand by
Its chameleon boy
Chameleon Boy
I'm chameleon boy...
Chameleon boy...

There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win and fear will lose
Now there's faith, and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying to let you know You need to try to think
When I'm gone, are you gonna miss me? Are you even listening? Do you even care about anything at all?
