Hundred Reasons

We aspire to be
Just like you as we
Fall to our knees to be grateful
If we could fake
What we should believe
We'd fool you into thinking we're grateful

Take what you want from me
Nobody's telling you
Where to go
Don't think I am so naive
To be fooled by these
Smokescreens

Confess to the priest
Absolve your sins
That eat you little by little
The dust settles into
Arms of hope
I'd break if you'd fold a little

We languish in the sun
Broken hands all blistered
Just trying to hold on
As we stood still on fire
Now and forever and
Now and forever

On days away
When we almost killed our own
We found a way
To be distracted then absolved

And if I leave you would you smile?
And it's not up for a discussion
So don't ask tonight
Don't waste your time and walk away
It was futile anyway

We watched the blood boil
We still smiled

I'd kept my eyes on who
Should have been watching you
And yes, I meant to hurt you
And kick your insides into touch

And if I leave you would you smile?
And it's not up for a discussion
So don't ask tonight
Don't waste your time and walk away
It was futile anyway

Don't think I wanted you to stay
Don't think that I want you to stay

If your lifetime
Was compressed into an hour
What would you do if you knew
The template was wrong?
Correct it

Contemplate spreading disruption
And hide signs of probable cause
Will you destroy, today
To outshine yesterday?
Will you now?

Believe me I have noticed
Your irrational behavior
Could it be that you
Had something to hide all along?
Correct it

I am for forgiveness
I have been the first to drown
But you are more than I will suffer
So I will be the first to surface

And you will be the first to drown
You are more than I will suffer
So I will be the last to drown

When everything eternal
Seems to fade to nothing
I try to counterbalance
If only to see it through

What have you got to offer?
I don't think I'll take it for granted
I'll simply sit here vacant
Resting, waiting, hoping to be found

This is the chance I've taken
But only this once

Your begging and choosing
Always seems to go unnoticed
We don't deserve the lie
So just for a moment be honest

Whatever you have to offer
I'll try to protect it
Correct me if I am wrong
But I think you are always on my side

We will try to make the most of it somehow

Suppose You Wash Your Hands Of
The Dirt You Run Them Through All Day
The Mess You Made

Could It All Make Sense Sometime
When You Crowd Around To Shirk Blame
It's All My Fault

And You're Right
But I Don't Know

Believe What Is Told To You
So Gullible In Every Way
You Stupid Fool

And Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Spare Me Yea
Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Spare Me Yea

Suppose You Wash Your Hands Of
The Dirt You Run Them Through All Day
Believe What Is Told To You
So Gullible In Every Way
You Stupid Fool

And Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Spare Me Yea
Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Your Songs Will Be Breaking All Hearts Again
Spare Me Yea, Spare Me Yea

I Don't Know, I Don't Know, I Don't Know

I Don't Know, I Don't Know, I Don't Know

I Don't Know, I Don't Know, I Don't Know

I Don't Know, I Don't Know, I Don't Know

I Don't Know, I Don't Know, I Don't Know

I Don't Know, I Don't Know, I Don't Know.

Now that we've settled down
What did you want from me?
Because it's always an excuse
That I do the things you don't choose
Bow down in fear
Your back's against the wall
We like to taunt and hit and steal
While you suffer what can't be revealed

Well it's fine cos we are in disguise
Stop us from leaving
Take turns to run away
No point in stealing
At least not today

Look fast run get away
There is the opening
They'll try and catch you if they can
But you can always try and fight back
Pick yourself up and dust down
Don't be so hard to please
We seem to border on diseased
Learning lessons in futility

Now take what you need
Leave me to rot here
I told you hundreds of times before
Don't ever trust me at all

Well it's fine
And you live fast and die ugly, young

Now I seem to forget, and wonder why, this is all negated.
And bide the Time, take it In, but it's over-rated.
Now, but it's fine, so you always beg for more.
And you never were satisfied, so you always beg for more.

Your heroes died, to get out of your way,
feed the fire, same as always.
Your heroes died, to get out of your way,
feed the fire, same as always, now.

Did you need me to think,
if it's all true,
that I am always goaded,
to lead the blind, it's all you know
as it's so familiar now.

But it's fine, you always beg for more.
And you never were satisfied, so you always beg for more.

Your heroes died, to get out of your way,
feed the fire, same as always.
Your heroes died, to get out of your way,
feed the fire, same as always, now.

And still,
You learn,

[Repeat: x3]
To take time over whoever you kill.

And still,
You learn
That you'll burn.

Who wants to clear up this mess?
The stain is embedded too deep
Along with daggers in your back
You appear to have blood-soaked hands

Leave now, be free
Live with no apology
Thank me for the years we had and don't look back
Leave now, be free
Try to find some sympathy
For all the times I never thought to see you

Sinners are in the way
Bleeding into these arms

There is nothing to be hidden
As we watch all sons of old gods die
You suffocate for the sake of a requiem
And all thoughts turn to
A better memory

And we found out
How we stood still
Overall
And it's now
That we found out
We are still here
Overall
We found out
Where we stood still
Couldn't be here
Overall
Yes it's now
That we found out
Where we stood still
Until now

How about we set on you
Take turns for after
Lie down and take your cue

Rest on your own
Truth is your overdue
It's all competition
Give all your own

What point do you make?
I don't hear a thing
Make a wish, like we'd care

Must be a better way
It's all wishing, thinking
Trust you to bury us

Without a thought for me
Back down and walk away
The lies just seem to suit you
Take what you own

Back down, back down, leave it
Fuck you, you shit, will you

You've already ruined
What you should've held dear
But teaching imperfection's like drilling holes in the sea
If I took you aside
Would you listen to me
I'd give you all my wisdom in way of an apology

Was it all a lie?
Why are you pretending
To sacrifice?
Why are your pretending
To sacrifice those real things
And win the fight?

I thought that I told you
That it wasn't working?

Are we nothing more than this?
A list of pinnacles achieved
And I forgot the way to my conscience
I will save this, take you home
A chance to leave the past behind
And move toward the future bright

This time it's done a better way
Breathe again this time

Forget the emotional countdown
And try to put together
Just a little bit piece by piece

Are we nothing more than this?

1 and 1 is what you see,
Should you do it differently.
Break the glass, emergency,
Bring an ordinary life.

It's a failure to communicate,
Pick it up, it's not too late.
Don't turn back.

If we had to release you,
Who knows how far you would go?
If we had to unleash you,
Who knows how far you would try to go?

2 and 2 forever more,
What is it you're waiting for?
Break the seal, operate
Bring a stationary light.

There's a failure to participate
In what we do and what we make.
Don't give up.

If we had to release you,
Who knows how far you would go?
If we had to unleash you,
Who knows how far you would try to go?

If we had to release you,
Who knows how far you would go?
If we had to unleash you,
Who knows how far you would...

1 and 1 is what you see,
Break the glass, emergency.
1 and 1 is what you see,
Bring an ordinary life.

2 and 2 forever more,
What is it you're waiting for?
Don't give up

It's too late
For remorse
But what you will not know
Is I'm invincible

Soft touch
I still may be
But that is why
What you still don't know
Is I'm invincible

Throughout your broken fall
You never needed anybody's help at all
And one thing that you said
Made me smile

(You know)
Watch us
Strive on honey
Or there's no way outta here
(You know)
Don't drive too hard sweetie
Cos there is no way back from here

The splinter
That we once had
Will never be replaced
If I'm invincible

You can
Look ahead
Towards the lights
Although you still don't know
I'm invincible

Throughout your broken fall
You never need anybody's help at all
And one thing that you said
Made me smile

(You know)
Watch us
Strive on honey
Or there's no way outta here
(You know)
Don't drive too hard sweetie
Cos there is no way back from here

But what you did not know

(You know)
It's safe to admit I missed you
(So take)
It's safe to admit I missed you

(You know)
Watch us
Strive on honey
Or there's no way outta here
(You know)
Don't drive too hard sweetie
Cos there is no way back from here

(You know)
Watch us
Strive on honey
Or there's no way outta here
(You know)
Don't drive too hard sweetie
Cos there is no way back from here

I was three days back
From the city of fire,
When we heard the news
And collapsed in the corner crying.

They drove you away,
Thought that you'd come back
And turn it around.
Free to alter every past mistake.
But here they come,
parading like they knew who you were.

They came out to play
And acted like they were hanging around
At a sick and twisted fashion show.
A stab in the back, despicable joke
That you thought were friends.
Never cared while you were breathing,
But here they come,
parading like they knew who you were.

So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade.
So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade.

Look at the mess with a callous heart,
As if you were proud.
Is that the best that you can do with it?
If you've learnt a single thing from it all,
You would never stand too close to me.
But here you are again.

So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade.
So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade.
So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade.
So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade.
So, we all walk side by side
In this sick little masquerade

There was a time when everything you cared about was free
Bright eyed poster sized and there for all to see
You led the way at a time when change would leave you all alone
Bright eyes open wide and very much your own

When you left you were young, not afraid
Infront of all childhood dreams that you could hide

You found it out boy
On the way
Watch the years boy
In playing games

You found it out boy
You lost your name
Watch the years boy
A picture frame
Of yesterday

There was a time when chaos took control of all your sense
And a fair try and a second chance was all that you had left

When you left you were young, not afraid
Infront of all the childhood dreams that you could hide

Found it out boy
On the way
Watch the years boy
In playing games

You found it out boy
You lost your name
Watch the years boy
A picture frame
Of yesterday

In leaving it all behind
You never denied that you decide to recognise
Theres nothing left from yesterday

There was a time when everything you cared about was free
Bright eyed poster sized and there for all to see

You found it out boy
On the way
Watch the years boy
In playing games

You found it out boy
But lost your name
Watch the years boy
A picture frame
Of yesterday

Spent a long time slipping away,
Spent a long time dreaming.
So reach out and touch today,
It's all we're giving.

Fools will always try and take,
But if everyone can deal with the notion,
Rest assured it will always be okay.
I try to sidestep all the emotion
Rest assured it will always be okay.

Spent a long time slipping away,
Spent a long time dreaming.
Just try to grab today,
It's all you're giving.

Fools will always lie in bed,
But if everyone can deal with the notion,
Rest assured it will always be okay.
I try to sidestep all the emotion
Rest assured it will always be okay.

You're slipping,
You're slipping,
You're at your best when you're slipping.
You try to dig yourself out of your grave.
Still slipping.

I'd settle for more devotion,
Rather than slipping away.
Still slipping.
I'd settle for more devotion,
Rather than slipping away.
I'd settle for more devotion,
Rather than slipping.

If everyone can deal with the notion,
Rest assured it will always be okay.
If I try to bandage all that is broken,
Rest assured it will always be okay.
So try to sidestep all the emotion,
And rest assured it will always be okay

When did you lose faith?
Seems like yesterday
When we were up against them all.
And now I tiptae
Around on eggshells.
There's nothing else I can do.

Good boyfriend,
Now I try to fake it,
And you think I'll never know
Why you try to make me
Never care at all.

Cover the mistakes,
Short temper always
Gets the better of you.
I want you to transform me into a star
So I can light your way.

Good boyfriend,
Now I try to fake it,
And you think I'll never know
Why you try to make me
Never care at all.

And I will look up
And lose all her trust
Like a wave coming over me.
And I will look up
As it breaks,
Like a wave coming over me.

Good boyfriend,
Now I try to fake it.
And you think I'll never know
Why you try to make me
Never care at all

What we have is a tricky situation
That won't ever get in alright
If all you want's just a dangerous liaison,
Then I've got one, right here.

I know you wanted to be the one who's safe inside
I bet it doesn't work for you,
oh,
I don't know

Do you know what you've done?
You've turned your back on the only one
Is this one life, one death
And no god except the one in your head.

I know you wanted to be the one who's safe inside
I bet it doesn't work for you,
Oh,
I don't know.

So goodbye, my friend
You didn't make it to the end
I'm sorry you're gone,
But glad we're not afraid

So goodbye, my friend
You didn't make it to the end
I'm sorry you're gone,
But glad we're not afraid
To Carry on

To raise your glass for one last time

To you.

What we have is a tricky situation
That won't ever get in alright
If all you want's just a dangerous liaison,
Then I've got one, right here.

What we have is a tricky situation
That won't ever get in alright
If all you want's just a dangerous liaison,
Then I've got one, right here.

I know you wanted to be the one who's safe inside
Pack it up and leave here with a broken pride.

I know you wanted to be the one who's safe inside
I bet it doesn't work for you,
Oh,
I don't know

So here you are my friend
Ive been expecting you and now you're here
You took so long to drive from wherever back into my life
And...

You are the one that I had left behind
You are the part of me that I denied
You are the hamorny I lived without
And now you're here

You could of made it harder
You could of left it longer, longer

So now we're back again, some would say to us its always been
Hard to find hard to find
Out of time out of time
And...

You are the one that I had left behind
You are the part of me that I denied
You are the hamorny I lived without
And now you're here

You could of made it harder
You could of left it longer, longer, LONGER

So there you stood, open arms
Waiting for me to lean into
So there you stood, open arms
Waiting for me to lean into
So there you stood, open arms
Waiting for me to lean into
So there you stood open arms
Waiting for me to lean into

You could of made it harder
You could of left it longer, longer, LONGERRRRRRRR!!
