Sevendust - Chapter 7: Hope & Sorrow (2008) by Sevendust (보컬) on maniadb.com

Pleased to meet the mother fucker
With the first slug. Expect the best,
But you see the glass as half empty!
Your looking for a sacrificial lamb.

(I know your secrets!)

Try not to miss the warnings,
You know you have to own up
For yourself this time, the answers inside.

Karma has come to take a payment
From your rest now. Your second guessing
Has you beaten down, its all empty.
The misery that company brought to you.

(I still fucking hate it!)

Try not to miss the warnings,
You know you have to own up
For yourself this time, the answers inside.
Your scared of the change that's coming.
You know you better hold onto yourself this time,
The answers on the inside.

(Here comes the pay back!)

You think you know it all, but its my
Turn to tell you what i see.

(I know your secrets!)

Try not to miss the warnings,
You know you have to own up for yourself
this time, the answers one the inside.
Your scared of the change that's coming.
You know you better hold onto yourself
This time, the answers on the inside.

I don't wanna leave a blood stain,
I just need to try and understand.
It's always good when it's in my hands,
But it seems to hurt when someone
Tries to be alone.
I know whats wrong, I need control,
Scared to be alone.

'Cause I can be your friend,
Unless you try to be who I am.
And I will let you stand,
If you let me take control.
'Cause too much is never enough.

Never mind you got your last chance,
I can see the writing on the wall.
If you follow in my foot steps,
I can't promise anything
But you wont be alone.
I know it's wrong, I need control,
I'm scared to be alone.
(I'm scared to be alone)

'Cause I can be your friend,
Unless you try to be who I am.
And I will let you stand,
If you let me take control.
'Cause too much is never enough.
(Too much is never enough!)
(Enough!)

(Hang onto every word that I say) [x3]

Even if you hold on,
It's not enough.
But when I take control,
It's never (enough!)
Too much is never (enough!)

'Cause I can be your friend,
Unless you try to be who I am.
And I will let you stand,
If you let me take control.
'Cause too much is never enough.
(Too much is never enough!)

I woke today
To the strangest thing
I have to say
Reminded me of just the the other day
Not today
You herd me say the same thing
Again I say
No excuses for the other day
Sorry always seems so hard to say
I twist the words
But still they mean
The same ole thing but

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FACE TODAY
No matter how much you think you gave to me
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FACE THE DAY
Will you ever forgive me for all that I've put you through

I came to see
Whats the reason for you hating me
I try and find another way to make you see
I'm not the same
You hear me say
It's killing me

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FACE TODAY
no matter how much you think you gave to me
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FACE THE DAY
will you ever forgive me for all that I've put you through

SAVE ME...SAVE ME...SAVE ME...

INSIDE IT KILLS ME
TO KNOW HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL
THE HOPES GONE

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FACE TODAY
No matter how much you think you gave to me
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FACE THE DAY
Will you ever forgive me for all that I've put you through

SAVE ME...

I for one will say i haven't seen it
all i know a second chance for me was long
so change is still to think about the world i took
that brought me here (WHO AM I) suppose to be

I breath
I bleed
am here to show you all my mistake
(ITS RIGHT HERE BESIDE YOU)

lie next to me and you'll see am the scapegoat am here
to tell you that this life's not for free look at me am the
scapegoat what will you do about it

find another way to look at life and understand that
(I CANT STOP) whats suppose to be but i can show
you what it will take (IF YOU WOULD SHUT UP AND LISTEN)

lie next to me and you'll see am the scapegoat am
here to tell you that this life's not for free look at me
am the scapegoat what will you do about it (LIE)

(SCAPEGOAT)

lie next to me and you'll see am the scapegoat
am here to tell you that this life's not for free look
at me am the scapegoat what will you do about it.

Seems as though you're here again
Even so this day wont end
Always a step behind me, been
Creates a vision that blinds within
If you could only see

The thought the burns inside
Gives you a feeling that you think will hurt me
A sight that burn the eyes
And you'll catch me and I know it kills you
IT KILLS YOU

Flip the switch and start again
Get the feeling every now and then
That your eyes are watching me
Creates a burning inside of me
I wish that you could feel
ALL THE SHIT THAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH

The thought that burns inside
Gives you a feeling that you think will hurt me
A sight that burns the eyes
And you'll never catch me and I know it kills you
IT KILLS YOU

Of course I saw you stumble
Always a step ahead
I coulda sworn I saw you say
Your confusing what you see
Confusing what I mean
I'll show you everything you thought you'd ever taught to me

The thought that burns inside
Gives you a feeling that you think will hurt me
A sight that burns the eyes
And you'll never catch me and I know it kills you
IT KILLS YOU

SO THINK ABOUT THIS AS YOU WALK AWAY
YOU LOST IT ALL AND NOW
IT'S COMING DOWN
IT'S COMING DOWN

Of course I saw you stumble
Always a step ahead
I coulda sworn I saw you say
Your confusing what you see
Confusing what I mean

Beneath the water
that's falling from my eyes
lays a soul I've left behind
the edge of sorrow was reached but now I'm fine
I've filled the hole I had inside

I'll pray it doesn't scream my name
so I light a flame and let it breathe
the air that kills the shame

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again

a risky morning
I feel like I'm alive
I can't believe I've made it through this time
the edge of sorrow I lived in for some time
(lived in for some time)
has left the hole I have inside

The burden is I try my hate
was the last thing I ever felt
or thought I could escape

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
[x2]

You let me in then broke me down
the difference is this time around
I will not let you see me drown

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
[x2]

Erased the past again now
Erased the past again

Beneath the water
that has fallen from my eyes

Passing through this life with so much regret
It feels like I haven't got over it yet
It takes so long for these wounds to heal
I'm knocking down walls, taking my time
I gotta get out of here

Where will I go?
Who will I become?
I'm coming on like an elephant gun

Reaching for the piece of mind that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for a feeling that will never come
The return of the prodigal son

Last night the moon seemed to look so empty (yeah)
I fell into a pit of despair (going nowhere)
I never thought that these wounds would heal
I fell to my knees, the rain came down
I thought I could touch the sky

What have I done, why was I so wrong?
Hear the pop of my elephant gun!

Reaching for the piece of mind that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for a feeling that will never come
The return of the prodigal son

Reaching for the piece of mind that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for a feeling that will never come
The return of the prodigal son - the Prodigal Son!

This time has just begun
I finally found a feeling
The return of a Prodigal Son

I wanna hold you up,
To let you see yourself.
I'm sick of watching
You fall on your face again.
I want to help you,
You have to help yourself.
I know you won't
Communicate to me.

(I fucking hate this!)

Suffering long enough.
Constrict my hands around you,
You'll never breathe again.
Your wish has come,
No telling what you'll see.
Or will it be the end?

The temptation fills you up,
No sign of slowing down.
You have to stop it for your soul
To turn around.
You never listen
To understand what I say.
You keep on pushing
The same ol' fucking line to me.

(Watching you fumble!)

Suffering all your life.
Constrict my hands around you,
You'll never breathe again.
Your wish has come,
No telling what you'll see.
Will it be the end?

Constrict my hands around you,
You'll never breathe again.
Your wish has come,
No telling what you'll see.
Will it be the end?

You never listen
To understand what I say.
You keep on pushing
The same ol' fucking line to me.

(Watching you fumble!)

Suffering all your life.
Constrict my hands around you,
You'll never breathe again.
Your wish has come,
No telling what you'll see.
Will it be the end?

So try and share the story
Of why you think it's gone away.
I wish that I could tell you
What will be, if it's not the end.

I'm the only one
That sings the same old song.
I know my destiny was made long ago,
I've yet to make a change.
Its time to rearrange.

I understand, it seems
I'm the last to notice,
How anybody feels.
Is it really 'cause I feel
I'm the one that's owed it.
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

You look at me the same,
Still I feel the blame.
I was shifting my self,
Removing all the punishment
For never being wrong.
I feel life is too long.

Sometimes i know it seems
I'm the last to notice,
How anybody feels.
Is it really 'cause I feel
I'm the one that's owed it.
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

All my pride leaves me vacant
For the sorrow I'm to blame.
But i know if i could just let go,
I could find a better way.
Only, Am I the only one?
Who thinks and breathes,
What no-one sees.
I'm the only one.

I understand, it seems I
'm the last to notice
How anybody feels.
Is it really 'cause i feel
I'm the one that's owed it.
Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

Give me just a chance,
I notice what I've done...
What I've done.

I learnt a lesson on my first day.
You were far too divine to say...
How can you hold onto a mistake?
And I told you why.

Don't defend what you didn't say.
Another taste for conflict anyway.
Pretend again who you are today,
To give a reason to contradict again.

You were forever with a bitter mind,
And the darkness is consuming.
You talk the bullshit and you rob the blind.
Now you live a lie.

Don't defend what you didn't say.
(I got) another taste for conflict anyway.
Pretend again who you are today,
(And try) to give a reason to contradict again. [x2]

You can't ever accept your fate so
What's the point of asking when I know the only answer is
It's my fault you live this so called
Life where all your consequences fall on everyone else
Making everbody struggle
I'm finding it ever so clear

If I had so much to say
Why was I the one to walk away?
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away

I'll dig a hole so you'll have a place to
Find another way to change the story for everyone
I'm not buying the shit that you're talking
Live with your decision consequences have come around
And it's time for you to struggle
You're finding it ever so clear

If I had so much to say
Why was I the one to walk away
You never found a way to change
That's why I had to walk away

Why was I the one to walk away
