"Fallen Angel"
(feat. Craig Owens of Chiodos, Stephen Egerton of Descendents)



[Originally by Poison]

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets,
Just a small town girl, with her whole life packed in a suitcase by her feet,
But somehow the lights didn't shine as bright as they did on her mama's TV screen,
And the work seemed hard, and the days seemed longer than she ever thought they'd be.

But you know you got to stick to your guns when it all comes down,
'Cause sometimes you can't choose,
It's like heads they win, and tails you're gonna lose.

Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life.

Now she found herself in the fast lane, living day to day,
Turned her back on her best friends yeah, and let her family slip away,
Just like a lost soul caught up in the Hollywood scene,
All the parties and the limousines,
Such a good actress, hiding all of her pain,
Trading memories for fortune and fame.

Just a step away from the edge of a fall,
Caught between heaven and hell,
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?

Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life.

Too much, too soon, or just a little too late,
'Cause when the ship came in she wasn't there, and it just wouldn't wait.

Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life,
Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life.

"Falling Down"

"Falling Down"



you're only interested when our power's threatened
you're only paranoid cause you know what you're doing
you know what you've done and what you're about to do
the conspiracy to your inconsistency
could it be your spirit's dead?
why do you run away when faced with these questions?
i know you know it
but you just won't say you built this conformist system
you built this state and now you're falling down
your education teaches us not to resist
subjects don't question kings
it disrespect, they slam you in the face with their fist
you'll do anything to keep from falling down!

"Far Away"

"Far Away"



It's a struggle just to stay alive
A brute force wind keeps us huddled inside
While the ship is going under
The violence will tear us asunder

And the land is too far away
Land is too far away
Would you please promise me, you'll come back to stay
Before you're too far away

There's a time in every person's life
You think you've got it figured like 3,4,5
But now the city's burning down
To the sea or higher ground

But the sea is too far away
Higher ground's far away
Would you please promise me, you'll come back to stay
Before you're too far away

When the sea rises up to swallow you
The wind so cold it hollows you

A new day will dawn just to keep up the fight
In the end you'll know wether you were right
We were never going down for the count
We were always going all ten rounds

Cause our dreams aren't too far away
Our dreams are not far away
Would you please promise me, you'll come back to stay
You're never too far away

"First Class Mail"

"First Class Mail"



She says I'm negative I just can't see
It's her negativity depressing me
Maybe I'm anti-American me
I don't think the problem is nationality
It's your point of view
She see's these things through dogma's narrow eyes
You question my integrity, but I can't question yours
I have joy in what I know
But her interpretations bring me sorrow
How can I act like nothing's wrong
And not communicate what's going on

"First Day Of The Rest Of Our Lives"

"First Day Of The Rest Of Our Lives"



Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t go quietly
Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t sit patiently

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Where’s life taking me?
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Always traveling

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I wanna love my job
I wanna love my life
But most of all, I wanna fall in love

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

"Fist VS Tact"

"Fist VS Tact"



I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't
take it anymore
I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

Persist to resist, fight back
Not with a fist, with tact
Ideas in action, with passion
Passion commitment, dedication

When all is said and done, our time is spent
And we've had our fun
Have you taken the time to think about your life
And what it means to know eternity

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't
take it anymore
I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

"Foolish"

"Foolish"



Some people say that I threw my brain away
That I'm illogical and don't have much to say
Some people say that it's foolish to believe
In what we cannot see, so we're deceived

All that I can do is listen to you
All that you can be is out there, you'll see

Every single time that I
Explain to you my reasons why
You turn away; you close your eyes
And then you cut me down to size

Some people say that I threw my vote away
The moment I decided to live life this way
Some people say that it's foolish to believe
In what we cannot see, so we're deceived
I'm not here to make you all agree
But have you truly studied this historically?

Every single time that I
Explain to you my reasons why
You turn away; you close your eyes
And then you cut me down to size

Every single time that I
Explain to you my reasons why
You turn away; you close your mind
Your heart's just not prepared to find
Some meaning, some meaning

Just wait, and listen to that voice
It calls so quietly, for you to make a choice
What will it be? What will it be?

 

[fox69]

"For Always"

"For Always"



If we help each other out along the way
Then maybe everything will be OK
Who decides if you'll succeed?
Who decides those things you want and need?

Looking back on all those years
All the smiles and all the tears
i never want those memories to fade
What we have done what can we do
We search our whole life for the truth
For always and always and always

I know sometimes well disagree
But no one here can absolutely see
Were just learning as we go
There's nothing in this world we just dont know

Honestly not interested

"Get Me Out"

"Get Me Out"



Get Me Out
I don't wanna move, I just wanna lay here
Shacky hands, sweaty sheets, can't get my mind in gear
My legs went numb 3hours ago
Blank starw, don't care what you think you know
Get me out!
I'm feeling around, alone in the dark
Can't find the switch, all I need is a spark or a match
To find a way out, just a silver of light
I'll crawl and I'll fight and I'll scratch and I'll bite
Get me out!

 

[fox69]

"Get With It!"

"Get With It!"



Kid quit it, get with it
Kid quit it, get with it
You're getting on my nerves
Is that what I deserve

I know I can't play guitar
So kill me quickly
And I'll be glad I'm gone

You wouldn't be so cool
If your friends ran off without you
And left you with your pants down

You're nothing but a lonely clown
With out a circus
A sheep that's lost the flock
Your nothing but a lonely clown
With out a circus
We're just here to rock
