lyrics

I will never be a great leader but then again what leaders are great?
I'll never be a believer because I cant find a purpose in faith
don’t need to swallow placebos by shouting prayers at an empty sky
I am a man with no future - at least by the standards of american eyes

oh misery, my best friend
knocking on my door to come play again
the streets i'm walking on are nothing but a minefield
bird is the word, let me fly into a windshield
hugs and kisses - burnt flesh and stitches
I've lived a sober life but we've all got our addictions
you best believe that - i'm on the wrong track
heading off the side of a cliff and I ain't coming back

sullen and bored the kids stay
and in this way wish each day
and I ain't coming back
stoned in the mall the kids play
and in this way wish away each day

we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all...
we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all...
we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all...
we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all...

Im ready to just hang it up
the courage in my well has all dried up
an empty shell – a man with no hope
I am a clown – a clown with no jokes
I don’t live large, I don’t dream big
rockstar – yeah I know I'm never gonna be
I plummet, push and fucking shove it
drag my body through the dirt for this shit but I love it

we can not close our eyes but we're addicted to dreaming
we can't open our mouths but we're addicted to eating
and we cant see the angels but we hear them singing
and we cant win this game because the machine is cheating
and we cant see out wrists but we can tell that they're bleeding
and you cant see our scars but we can sure take a beating

clenched fists. Open wounds.
Broken hearts. black and blue

sullen and bored the kids stay
and in this way wish each day
and I ain't coming back
stoned in the mall the kids play
and in this way wish away each day

we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all die the same
we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all die the same
we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all die the same
we all look the same - we all sound the same
we all feel the same - we all die the same


sullen and bored the kids stay
and in this way wish each day
now I lay me down to sleep
pray no lord my soul to keep
stoned in the mall the kids play
and in this way wish away each day
and if I die before I wake
pray no lord my soul to take

i've been abandoned and abused. Raised inside a tomb
spread the legs of mother earth just to crawl back in her womb
six feet deep underneath her skin
I said six feet deep underneath her skin
i've been abandoned and abused. Raised inside a tomb
spread the legs of mother earth just to crawl back in her womb
six feet deep underneath her skin
I said six feet deep underneath her skin

I brought myself into this world and i'll go when I please
at first what seemed so beautiful has become my disease
yeah, yeah, i've never asked for much and i'm tired of trying to breathe
so when I take my life let me take it in peace

piece by piece – piece by piece
when I take my life let me take it in peace

sullen and bored the kids stay
and in this way wish each day
and I ain't coming back
stoned in the mall the kids play
and in this way wish away each day

I will never be a great father but then again what fathers are great?
I'm nothing more than a monster who lays his head on a pile of mistakes
I am just a sore loser – the games been over but I still try to play
this is nothing but a funeral – goodbye blue sky – happy days
