The Dillinger Escape Plan

Wash it down the drain
Down the drain.
Wash your smile, down
Wash it down the drain, please!

Like animals destined for fuel or observance
Our role is clear, never stray far from the path

Everything has an end
Everything has an end

Everything must have an end

But what am I supposed to say? (What am I supposed to say?)

Oh sorry I guess I forgot
You think you could tell me again?
Please?
I don't remember.

What am I supposed to think? (What am I supposed to think?)
What am I supposed to feel? (What am I supposed to feel?)

There's no feeling in this place
The echoes of the past speak louder
Than any voice I hear right now

Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for

Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for

There's no feeling in this place
There's no feeling in this place

What did you expect?
That we would never leave home?
That we would never leave?
What did you expect?
That we would never leave home?
That we would never leave?
That we would never leave?

That we would never leave?
That we would never leave?

What did you expect from us?
We're murderers!
Murderers and liars and rapists and thieves!
You should never put your trust in any of us
There is nothing to gain from this interference

Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for

There's no feeling in this place

The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now (The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now)

So there you are
Until the dawn
Still whistling
That same old song

Happy all the time
Now she gives the shoulder
Look into her eye
You cannot control her

Look into her eye
You cannot control her

Smile and nod your head
You are the cause of it
This is not your dream
This is not your dream

Hey there you fucking bum
Look what you have become
No secrets without walls
A social free-for-all

Come on and get it all for free
Just hit that fucking key
Your long term memory
Pushed aside

I'm not evaporating (Pushed aside!)
Let them sit gorged and frozen (Pushed aside!)
In their immediacy (Pushed aside!)
(Suicide!) by way of information

So there you are
Until the dawn

So there you are
Until the dawn

(Suicide!) by way of
(Suicide!) by way of
(Suicide!) by way of information

Don't see you ever do without
Leper
Forced to feel pitiful
And how clever

You call him pretty
And blessed child (Blessed!)
Now see how the pretty boy
Runs wild (Running!)

It's just an ordinary day
I know how to fix you,
If you come my way

You are the proud and simple man (Simple!)
Now run as fast as I know you can (You can!)
Trick me with your deaf dumb and blind (Dumb and!)
Feigned hero daily disguise (Disguise!)

It's just like every other day
But I know how to fix you,
Should you come my way

Pull out your teeth and stare
With your hands at your share
Pull out your eyes and stare
With your hands at your share

(You call him pretty and blessed child)

You call him pretty
And blessed child (Blessed!)
Now see how the pretty boy
Runs wild (Running!)

It's just an ordinary day
I know how to fix you,
If you come my way

It's just like every other day!
But I know how to fix you,
Should you come my way

Pull out your teeth and stare,
With your hands at your share
Pull out your eyes and stare,
With your hands at your share

You are the first one to fall down
You are the first one to cry foul
You are the first one to point the blame
You are the last one to feel ashamed

Couldn't you help me so that I may believe?
Couldn't you show me so that I may be saved?

Couldn't you help me so that I may believe?
Couldn't you show me so that I may be saved?

Couldn't you help me so that I may believe?
Couldn't you show me so that I may be saved?

Couldn't you help me so that I may believe?
Couldn't you show me so that I may be saved?

Couldn't you help me so that I may believe?
Couldn't you show me so that I may be save-

Cheering crowds deify their waste
Making love to their disgrace

After so much how could you not fall asleep, dream, and die
Fit for nothing dead where you lay

All the nights of broken glass drown the screaming
Choke your breath and hide to pass the time
When the wrath comes where will they turn?

All these nights of broken glass
This vision soon will pass
Soon will pass

All the way from hell to here
This is an act of vengeance
They say the end is near
Well let it start, let it start now!

It is not you who will die
Only the world that will end

It is not you who will die
Only the world that will end

So let it start
Let it!

Don't live to pay
Load up the gun
And blow them away!

Let it start now!

Nothing but the nerves
Shuddering the sun and moon

Nothing but illusions
Endless endings
Endless endings

Driving on empty for too long
Driving on empty for too long

How soon did you...
How soon did you know we were gone?
How soon did you know we were dead and gone?

What time did you wake up today?
Was there a dream you tried to take back?
We could have left so long ago
We could have left so long ago
When everyone around us said so

How fast we assemble?
How could you go when I was trying to leave?
How could you go when I was trying to leave?

How could I go when you were trying to leave?
When did you know that we were gone?
When did you know that we were dead and gone?

How fast we assemble?
Endless endings

Seems we tried everything
We tried it all

You were a face in the crowd
I Threw myself onto you
I tried to take you away
I didn't know how to do

But I could not give you the most
Some things I said were never true
Yet still we clung to a ghost
I feel so bad you never knew

I felt like you should know but I could not tell you so

When you walked away I breathed your name
As you walked away
As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

When you walked away I breathed your name
As you walked away
As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

I don't know how to hold onto something
That seems determined to grow by the day
Every time, I think I can handle
You only seem to get farther away
I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do
For a person like me to do

When you walked away I breathed your name
As you walked away
As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

When you walked away I breathed your name
As you walked away
As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

I couldn't watch you wishing for something
That seemed more impossible by the day
Anytime I saw your expression
I only seemed to run farther away
I never realized just how hard this was for a person like me to do

Obsessed with thoughts that deform
Held on by hope too well worn
Crippled because of dreams that eclipse reality
Crashing into truths we don't perceive
We don't perceive

I couldn't hold on to
The things that mattered to you
It was my big mistake
Thinking there were two roads to take

As you walked away
As you walked away

As you walked away
As you walked away

As you walked away
As you walked away

As you walked away
As you walked away

And in the end
I'm sure I'll know it's
My mistake
We're forsaken

And in the end
I'm sure I'll know it's
My mistake
We're forsaken

[Missing lyrics]

There's a price to pay
There's a price to pay

How long can we wait?

I can't see anyway
This could be healthy to do
I guess I hoped we could find another way
To just get through

And sometimes I'm feelin' that
That I should find a way out of this mess

Oh, I guess we'll make a way
This isn't healthy to do
I guess I hope we can find another way
To just get through

This is none of your business
???? this is not

This is none of your business
This is some of your business

There is nowhere to hide
In a room so full of eyes

Until we die we're never satisfied
We'll lust for and feed the dissatisfaction of want and need
Oh, yeah...

Can I tell you a secret?
While your voice hung thick in the waves
You were mistaken if you thought I could behave
I was not afraid

But little honey I needed
I needed a reminder from you
There sure ain't nothin' like the sight of your fine skin
From across the room

Oh, yeah!!
This sure seems so familiar
The same feelings that I thought I had lost
We're only waiting to come in through another door at another cost
And why?

'Cause we reap what we sow and it's a difficult crop
But we keep cutting down
Yet it grows again
Still it grows again

Lined up waiting for the execution
Blank stares fall from out of trees
Never leave home praying for the new solution
Sick from all the indifference in the breeze

Put your head down, you're tied up
With a blank stare you know that your time's up
Now you're lined up for the execution
For de-evolution
For the new solution

So you can see the way that things are gonna be

It seems like you've been running out
Like you've been running out now
Now it seems like you've been running out

God knows you could lose some pride
With an ego you could never even try to hide

On your deathbed nobody stops by
I remember when you thought you would never die
With your head high, go to sleep forever
It's your last endeavor
Who could do it better?

I know it's just a game to you but not for me

And it seems like you've been running out
Like you've been running out now
Now it seems like you've been running out

Every second is passing so fast
Everything that you cling to will not last
There's a chemical weapon made from all your broken dreams

With fear in your eyes lie still in your bed
Don't concern yourself with things left unsaid

With fear in your eyes lie still in your bed
Don't concern yourself with things left unsaid

With fear in your eyes lie still in your bed
Don't concern yourself with things left unsaid

Your contribution is slowing progress
You can't build something with empty promises

Every second is passing by so fast
Everything that you cling to will not last
There's a chemical weapon made from all your broken dreams

Every second is passing by so fast
Everything that you cling to will not last
There's a chemical weapon made from all your broken dreams

From all your broken dreams

From all your broken dreams

Years of the clock go by
How long will you wait for a sign
It seems fiction is hard to break
Forward out of the darkness
Walls of time must fall
Kings and queens must die

Fiction is hard to break

Backwards is your fascination myth
Backwards is your fascination myth

Pillar of belief
Carrier of the key
Hold your hand up high

And the time won't wait
And the dreams still break
For in dawn,
For in dawn the light reveals

So now how do I live without you?
It seems you've had a lot of time to work it out
What do you think we're gonna do?
You are the ones who build up walls around yourselves
To shield your lives from fear

When faced with divinity
Do you all pay all your dues?
Or do you refuse?

If there was no consequence
Could you stay inside the lines?
Leave your guilt behind?

Those lips... Crooked sadistic words
Don't waste your turn
Save us from the nonexistent
Teaching that suffering is love

Suffering is love
Suffering is love
Suffering is love
Suffering is love

Suffering is not love

I feel the world fall from the inside
It's coming down
My beating pulse crawls to a strange height
Please calm it down

I need a strong pull from your little lies
Or I'm going down
'Cause I built it all up from the inside
And you burned it down

'Cause when you took your love away
You let go

I feel the world fall from the inside
It's coming down

Although I miss you I'll never say I do
Bleed like the rain that's falling
Cut me through and through

I'd seen it all hiding in plain sight
And I held it down
But I'll give you all that you deserve tonight
'Cause you earned it when you burned me down

'Cause when you took your love away
You let go

I feel the world fall from the inside
It's coming down

Although I miss you I would never ever say I do
Bleed like the rain
Like the rain that falls upon my skin

Then you just gave our love away
You just let go

Then you just gave our love away
You just let go (You just let go, you just let go)

Bleed like the rain that falls upon my skin (Bleed like the rain that falls upon my skin)

Wash it down the drain
Down the drain.
Wash your smile, down
Wash it down the drain, please!

Like animals destined for fuel or observance
Our role is clear, never stray far from the path

Everything has an end
Everything has an end

Everything must have an end

But what am I supposed to say? (What am I supposed to say?)

Oh sorry I guess I forgot
You think you could tell me again?
Please?
I don't remember.

What am I supposed to think? (What am I supposed to think?)
What am I supposed to feel? (What am I supposed to feel?)

There's no feeling in this place
The echoes of the past speak louder
Than any voice I hear right now

Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for

Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for

There's no feeling in this place
There's no feeling in this place
Feeling in this place

What did you expect?
That we would never leave home?
That we would never leave?
What did you expect?
That we would never leave home?
That we would never leave?
That we would never leave?

That we would never leave?
That we would never leave?

What did you expect from us?
We're murderers!
Murderers and liars and rapists and thieves!
You should never put your trust in any of us
There is nothing to gain from this interference

Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for

There's no feeling in this place

The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now (The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now)

Nothing but the nerves
Shuddering the sun and moon

Nothing but illusions
Endless endings
Endless endings

Driving on empty for too long
Driving on empty for too long

How soon did you...
How soon did you know we were gone?
How soon did you know we were dead and gone?

How fast we assemble?
Endless endings

Seems we tried everything
We tried it all
