This House Will Burn

(Russell, Owens) You left me nothing to lose Falling out of my skin I found that all this time You’ve been lying to me They left me battered and bruised All these things that I’ve seen Houses will burn down And we will be torn at the seams I’m taking everything back I’m reclaiming the old city streets I found that all this time They’ve been waiting for me They left me crawling and sick All these things that I’ve seen Houses will burn down And we will be haunted by screams Houses will burn down And we will be torn at the seams Now I talk in my sleep I tell tales of daring and pain All of my friends ...

Brightest Star

(Russell, Owens) I've been waiting for an answer and I waited for you But you never came home I gave all the fire inside of me, I gave it to you But you never came home I've been waiting up for hours and sleep is coming soon To my opening eyes I've been bleeding all the chemistry coursing through my veins So my desire won't die Show me strength and find me the energy To let go my fear so that I can be free Give me fire and give me smoke Give me something I can wish for Set me free don't let me choke Keep my heart beating Give me thunder in the ...

Good Time Back

(Russell, Owens) Get back and stay right back if you've got nothing to say We used to blow the roof off every Saturday Bring the good time back Bring the good time back This is my sweet return Just give me money to burn Gimme aid to communicate because I'm out and I don't know Just bring me way back up 'cos I've been way down low Bring the good time back Bring the good time back This is my sweet return Just give me money to burn Could take a lifetime to figure it out Could take a lifetime wasted in doubt Could take a lifetime to figure it out So let's bring the good ...

Put The Gun Down

(Lyons) Well, that’s me on the pavement Kicking my heels and digging the dirt That’s you in the papers Kick me when I’m down - it's all I deserve We’re one but we’re not the same When you’re not catching my eye But don’t say ‘no change today’ As you go and pass me by It don’t make no sense It don’t make no sense Put the gun down That’s me with my can in one hand The other stretched out for more And that’s you with your head in the clouds Your feet firmly on the floor We’re one but we’re not the same Mistakes, I’ve made a few Cos it seems like only yesterday I was once ...

Sleepless

(Russell, Owens) It floods my brain, again and again The lines all change and my world stays the same You see, your timing was so sweet It brought me to my knees Sleepless night, drowning me inside I’m just the type to let you forget what you did But it makes me sick, I feel so sick Lord, please let me forget what you did So tell me it’s a lie And everything you said was just to make me hurt Because I just can’t take this Sleepless every night I’m shut up in my bed Spare me, let me go It comes again, sleepless again My heart is open wide And inside, all the time I ...
