take everything back
--------------------------
every time I open up my eyes
the innocence and purity goes
and I wake up every day blind
the innocence and purity is gone
you shouldn't say anything, not a word, I feel no pain
I'm jumping out of windows screaming "finally!"
the clouds are at my fingers tips the sun within reach
I feel the heat before I hit I ground
forget me, forget my face, forgive me, and take everything
before it takes you, before it craves you...
before it takes you, remember, to take everything back
the innocence and purity is gone
the innocence and purity was gone
rainy days in the big city
------------------------------
been raining for some days..
and all I think is just how cold it really is
how cold it has become
its hard to tell when I've felt dead this year
and still soaked in greed and still drenched in consumerism
we make our way home somehow
does it ever go away?
does it ever stop repeating?
the cd never stops
and the tv's always on...
the days go by as we live like the games that we play
and this war that binds us to drive on cruise.
how far we've gone! how far we go..
while the reign just pours..
and is it draining you too?
walking thru a crowd, a crowd that has no face
singing yourself to sleep
and you think its seems surreal
the cd never stops
the signal just keeps on and on
and we keep on living, and we swear that this will be our last night in this
filth
does it ever go away?
does it ever stop chasing?
the cd never stops
the radio frequencies and days go by
as we live like the games that we play
and this war that binds us to buy low and sell high
how far we've gone! how far we go...
while the reign just pours
the powers out and I haven't seen light in days
manufactured helplessness..
the messengers are blurred, but the message is so damn clear
your all alone in the night (darkness)
Now, in this storm of treachery,
we have no place to go
what makes us think we can keep on strong?
the reign keeps pouring down
the streets are flooded
just tell me you and I
...are gonna wait for the sun

suddenly, like a gust of wind, the machine changes our design
parallel to the offbeat drums that keep us all out of pace
uncertain and cold, like you've been for days
one can see how this mess all started
it only took one time.
so I'll be riding home in tanks (wouldn't you say?) (2x)
bundled up like I was six years old
gun in one hand, gin in the other, "i swear we're not ****ing around"
wait and see how high flags fly when everyone is tied
to their offices, blindfolded, gagged, begging
"I've never said a word", we've become what we hate
what do we even stand for anymore, growing in numbers
she's breaking at the seams, it only takes one time.
so I'll be riding home in tanks (wouldn't you say?)
bundled up like I was six years deep
so I'll be seeing you in time...the price we pay
I'm riding home in tanks before it's over and we lose everything...
