Chris Cornell - Carry On (2007) by Chris Cornell (보컬) on maniadb.com

I saw the world
it was beautiful
But the rain got
in and ruined it all
Then I tried to be invisible
It was impossible
Even for me
I laughed at love
it was a big mistake
In the absence of
I filled it with hate
Cause there's no such thing as
nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as
nothing at all
I had the brains
not to think at all
But the rain got in
And I thought too hard
On the world and as usual
I slumped too far
Into the void
I tried to make everything
meaningless
But the rain got in
and made it a mess
Cause there's no such
thing as nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as
nothing at all
Yeah there's no such thing as
nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world
So what gives me the right
To think that
I could throw away a life
Even mine
And what makes you believe
That you could get away
with getting old
Overlapping me
Maybe to lose
or to save your soul
Is a choice of
how you fill the hole

And the rain got in
Cause there's no such thing as
nothing
Yeah there's no such thing as
nothing at all
There's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger
And I'll turn off the world

I heard the sound bite I read your words right I saw the light I heard you singing I know your song It’s my turn to write I put this hook inside So you won’t soon forget I have the radar I can see so for With my poison eye My poison eye And when I look hard I see in the stars What you’ve done And what lies in wait for you And when I look down I see the ground I won’t make a sound I’ve only to look at you Inside the phone lines You think you’ll hide And you’ll bee alright You’re in my sight lines You will have no time Even to cry I see your pain I’ll see my face on your fear I have the radar I can see so far With my poison My poison eye And when I look hard I see in the stars What you’ve done And what lies in wait for you And when I look down I see the ground I won’t make a sound I’ve only to look at you I can see sparks Over a lake at midnight I see the smile Falling from your face But you’re in the dark You’re in a maze All you can do Is sit there and wait for me And I’m coming I know the low road I broke the code To breaking your heart I see the angles I draw the cards That burden you so I have the sight That follows you morning and night I have the radar I can see so far With my poison eye My poison eye My poison eye My poison eye

With his arms around your love Oh no here comes a pain That You can’t ignore With his arms around your girl He’ll do all of the things You didn’t do before You had every chance But you closed the door You’re just gonna have to face it As if you didn’t know She’s gonna make you pay for it A price you can’t afford You’re just gonna have to take it With his arms around your love Pretend that you don’t mind But you know everything That you left behind And would have been alright If you gave half of the praise That you held inside You thought she’d hang around for the ride You’re just gonna have to face it As if you didn’t know She’s gonna make you pay for it A price you can’t afford You’re just gonna have to take it With his arms around your love Coming clean feels so dangerous Just a little bit Would have been enough You never said all the words Caught in your head As if your heart was dead But now it’s surely bled and broken up You’re just gonna have to face it As if you didn’t know She’s gonna make you pay for it A price you can’t afford You’re just gonna have to take it With his arms around your love

Picture a time, when morning will come And you will wake up, without the feeling That half the world has gone insane You’ll open your eyes Reading your paper, a drink from your cup No one was burning down the town / While you were sleeping I’ve never seen but I believe In a promised land Why can’t we pull this together One and all, now and forever Why can’t we pull this together And we can say that we finally found a world around us Safe and sound Think of a place Where you could believe in whatever you want Not keep it secret Or risk your life just to be yourself A place where you walk Safely no matter your color or age More than the greed of you and me decides the fate of the day I’ve never seen but I believe In a promised land Why can’t we pull this together One and all, now and forever Why can’t we pull this together We can say that we finally found a world around us Safe and sound I’d rather see you set it free Than watch the curtains coming down Think of a life That won’t take the breath from somebody else One where you’re seeking More than yourself Safe and sound Why can’t we pull this together One and all, now and forever Why can’t we pull this together And we can say we finally found a world around us Safe and sound Why can’t we pull this together One and all, now and forever Why can’t we pull this together And we can say we finally found a world around us Safe and sound I’d rather see you set it free Than watch the curtains coming down

The a.m. finds me, home alone awake in bed Morning blinds me, I had that dream of you again The fog is lifting, I don’t realize that your not here and how you left me, life disappeared Life is rejection, I know you’ve had your share But this one’s special, I can’t compete with her And did she tell you Only she could know your mind And did she sell you, I gotta say it one time She can be your lover She can be your friend She can be your vision of a mother Like the one you never had She will know your troubles better than I can But she’ll never be your man She’s got you thinking, of a world that you might fit in A whole lot better, than the one you’ve been living in Did she tell you, only she could understand And did she sell you, only time will tell She can be your lover She can be your friend She can be your vision of a mother Like the one you never had She will know your troubles better than I can But she’ll never be yourman She can be your lover She can be your friend She can be your vision of a mother Like the one you never had She will know your troubles better than I can Yeah but one things for sure She’ll never be your man

I know what you’re looking for You’ve looked in these eyes before And all you saw was blue-green water Searching for a mirror That would show the world Not who you are But who you want to be And you thought that you found that one in me Well it’s been a long time Since I heard that name He doesn’t live here anymore Don’t know where he’s residing You can wait here if you want But I don’t think he’s coming back He doesn’t live here anymore I’m sure you found the right place Same address you knew before But that won’t change what lies behind the door And what lies underneath Has to change From the inside out He doesn’t live here anymore Don’t know where he’s residing I think it’s better if you don’t Cause I don’t want him coming back And yes I know the name sounds a little bit familiar Like a melody to a dream And yes I know he wore the same face, the same clothes But that was so long ago I know who you want to find Somewhere is the memory Of somebody I left behind So lets take it all in stride Hey, its that time To say goodbye He doesn’t live here anymore Hey

Learned long ago About a better way Of killing birds And what it means When they die in my hands Like a strangled heart It never made much sense to me Why I’d need to know The best way to do that But you have to love The murderer I’ve become As I’m standing here in front of you Standing right in front of you Standing right in front of you Killing birds I spent my youth Breaking down the walls My father built Just like he did To his father before him Then I had no home So I tried to make a better one It looked just like his So I burned it down again Another in a long Parade of idiots Standing here in front of you Standing here in front of you Standing here in front of you Killing birds You don’t have to love The murderer I’ve become If I had a web I could sit and wait for you Wouldn’t need a stone I’d just poison you And tie you up And you would be a bird A beautiful crested one And your eyes would beg But I’m just doing my job Standing here in front of you Standing here in front of you Standing here in front of you Killing birds

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round She says I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round She said her name was Billie Jean, and she caused a scene And every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round People always told me be careful what you do Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts Momma always told me be careful who you love Be careful what you do before the lie becomes the truth Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who says that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son For forty days and forty nights The law was on her side And who could stand when she's in demand Her schemes and her plans 'Cause we dance on the floor in the round So take my strong advice, and remember to always think twice Do think twice She told my baby that we'd danced till three She looked at me, showed a photo My baby cried, his eyes were like mine Cause we danced on the floor in the round People always told me be careful what you do Don’t go around breaking young girls' hearts Then she stood right by me The smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon When she called me to her room

As I fall I leave a scar upon the sky A simple note for you I wait for your reply And in your answer I regain my will to try So hover in the diving light And we will rip the night Out of the arms of the sun One more time Close your eyes and we will fly Above the crowded sky And over the dumbstruck world we will run In these hills they wash the gold and graves away To the valley under all of this I lay And there you dig me out unearthed and saved So hover in the diving light And we will rip the night Out of the arms of the sun One more time Close your eyes and we will fly Above the crowded sky And over the dumbstruck world we will run We can rip the night, out of the arms of the sun A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand No longer stranded like a painted bird on a fan So hover in the diving light And we will rip the night Out of the arms of the sun One more time Close your eyes and we will fly Above the crowded sky And over the dumbstruck world we will run We can rip the night, out of the arms of the sun

Sleeping on the road that takes you home Howling at the moon at midnight I want the wrong that sets you right I’ll be praying at your bedside How long I’ve been a soul in the gutter I don’t have a home or a mother Anywhere to lay my head down Can I visit your arms Can I visit your legs I won’t need your insults or praise I won’t burden your heart So don’t worry your head If you don’t want a soulmate I’m your soul today Hanging on a rope from a burning tree Standing on a broken headstone Bleeding form an old wound Swimming in a fever Waiting for a resurrection I know it’s a miracle I’ve lived this long I don’t want to give the wrong impression But I’ve come so far Can I visit your arms Can I visit your legs I won’t need your insults or praise I won’t burden your heart So don’t worry your head If you don’t want a soulmate I’m your soul today Sleeping on the road that takes you home Howling at the moon at midnight I want the wrong that sets you righht I’ll be praying at your bedside How long I’ve been a soul in the gutter Can I visit your arms Can I visit your legs I won’t need your insults or praise I won’t burden your heart So don’t worry your head If you don’t want a soulmate Can I visit your arms Can I visit your legs I won’t need your insults or praise I won’t burden your heart So don’t worry your head If you don’t want a soulmate I’m your soul today Yeah Your soul today

On a sullen night so out of place. I almost lost my nerve. When I saw you walk into my space. A woman like you, I could not replace. And it took some patience to catch your eye. And patience to win your heart. And now it feels like. I don’t have to worry at all. It’s finally forever. There’s no hill I would not climb for you. No bridge I wouldn’t cross. Not a moment passes in my life. That you’re not on my mind. Together or apart. And it took some patience to catch your eye. And patience to win your heart. And now it feels like. I don’t have to worry at all. It’s finally forever. Anytime you’re lost, Anywhere you’re found. Anytime you want, I will be around. Anywhere you sleep, Anywhere you stand. Anytime you fall, Anywhere you land. Even if you break, Anytime I can. I will be there for you, I know. That you’ll understand, You’ll understand. Now I never would have imagined this. So I thank my lucky stars. As I see you in your wedding dress. Never would have guessed. You’d fill my open arms. And it took some patience to catch your eye. And patience to win your heart. And now it feels like. I don’t have to worry at all. It’s finally forever.

They’re the soldiers, In the sunlight. Kill the center of a man, Endless suicide. By the night light, Infrared sky. Is the holstered bridled child spinning around the flames. Each is loved now, And all remembered. For the mask they wore years before the future. And the horse falls, In the smoke filled riot. The center of a child grows a new disguise. And where are the songs from the sane minds. And where are the words from the sound mouths. I can’t understand how they silence the voices. That say no. It’s a new day, In the old life. He looks healthy with a tan on a white sheet. Across the table, Where the blood dries. Where infinity will greet these filthy confines. And where are the songs from the sane minds. And where are the words from the sound mouths. I can’t understand how they silence the voices. That say no. That say no. It’s a new day, In the old life. In the silence, Of the abscess. And where are the songs from the sane minds. And where are the words from the sound mouths. I can’t understand how they silence the voices. That say no. I can’t understand how they silence the voices.

Come on now the curtain is drawn And tomorrow stands before you Dressed and draped in a cold black cape like a crow He ignores you Look again there’s a beautiful girl Covers sin in a holy land shroud It’s the great disappearing act Done once again for the marveled crowd As we’re chasing our tails And biting our nails So strong and frail And we build and tear it down Build and tear it down Build and tear it down With barely the time to say How did it get so late I’ll never know Step outside and now the doors open wide And the minions are eager to find him Put a million miles under your heals And your’re still behind him Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks While the seasons get hotter and colder Stretch your faces and lie about your ages And still your going to get older As we’re chasing our tails And biting our nails So strong and frail And we build and tear it down Build and tear it down Build and tear it down With barely the time to say How did it get so late I’ll never know I’ll never know I’ll never know Hang on ‘til your fingers break And your hands unwind He will escape you every time From under your pillows Through open windows And out on the rails As we build and tear it down Build and tear it down Build and tear it down With barely the time to say How did it get so late I’ll never know I’ll never know I’ll never know

If you take a life, do you know what you’ll give? Odds are you wont like what it is When the storm arrives would you be seen with me? By the merciless eyes I’ve deceived I’ve seen angels fall from blinding heights But you yourself are nothing so divine Just next in line Arm yourself because no one else here will save you The odds will betray you and I will replace you You can’t deny the prize it may never fulfill you It longs to kill you …are you willing to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins You know my name If you come inside things will not be the same When you return to the night If you think you’ve won you never saw me change The game that we’ve been playing I’ve seen this diamond cut through harder men Than you yourself, but if you must pretend You may meet your end Arm yourself because no one else here will save you The odds will betray you and I will replace you You cant deny the prize it may never fulfill you It longs to kill you …are you willing to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins You know my name Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel Arm yourself because no one else here will save you The odds will betray you and I will replace you You cant deny the prize it may never fulfill you It longs to kill you …are you willing to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins You know my name

I have an injury
It's there for all to see
They pay to watch as the blood pours out
And it's my priviledge

Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Of losing my mind

The fasination lives
Inside the world that spins
Around the scene of the accident
And they're most interested

When you're in danger
When you're in danger
When you're in danger
Of losing your mind
Of losing your mind

When I walk along the street
I see you all who know your sanity
Is hanging by a thread

I went to church today
To pray it all away
I watched the meek pass the hat around
But I'd already paid

Cause I'm in danger
Yeah I'm in danger
Yeah i'm in danger
Of losing my mind
Of losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
